Alien: The Cold Forge

This is new to me. Anyone know more?

[Ultramorph]

Cool find, but I wouldn't get too excited. That's the same site where we found that Predator book that got canned a while back.
Writer seems to be Alex White:

Searched on Facebook and found a public post from Connor Goldsmith, who seems to be a literary agent:

This was announced at DragonCon, but I'm excited to tell you more! Alex White is writing an ALIEN novel for Titan Books.

THE COLD FORGE is about Blue Marsalis, a scientist with ALS who hopes experiments on xenomorphs will lead to a cure. It goes... not well. With test subjects gone rogue and a Weyland-Yutani mercenary sent to kill her, her only defense is a robot she controls remotely with her mind. It's a tense psychological thriller with two compelling, morally complex leads (Blue and the hitman), and I'm very excited about it!

It's listed on Amazon as well.

[Ultramorph]

Pre-ordered at warp speed.

Looks like Titan is going back to smaller, more contained stories, which seems best after Covenant cast questions over the overall mythology.

I would prefer more Predator stories. Or other film properties instead.

[Corporal Hicks]

We've not released it yet but according to our interview with Bryan, they're doing a novelization for The Predator. Can't recall if that's something we know or not yet.

Thanks for the finds felix and Ultra. Currently frontpaging this up now.

  How can i buy the books???
Thanks.
I'm portuguese.

[Corporal Hicks]

Amazon is the safest bet.

[Nazrel]

This one doesnt sound all that interesting. Really didnt like the ragewar series they did. Ill probably pick this one up, but the story sounds out of place

[HuDaFuK]

Awesome. I like that it sounds a bit more low-key and tense, rather than another action-packed Aliens rip-off.

Sweet!

Yeah, I'm getting No Exit vibes. That book would have been amazing had it not descended into madness for the last third of the book. Hopefully Cold Forge will avoid that!

[HuDaFuK]

Still haven't got around to the DH Press books. Haven't even got to buying the Rage War yet lol.

  No comment.

Been having a couple of exchanges with Alex on Twitter. He says if you like Labryinth, you'll like Cold Forge!

If you liked Labyrinth, this will definitely appeal.
