Free League and Titan Books will be taking the popular Alien RPG to unique heights in the following months.

Announced today, both companies will join forces to release three novels based in the Alien RPG universe. The first novel titled Alien: Colony War, which was written by David Barnett, will be released on April 19. The second novel Alien: Inferno's Fall, which was co-written by Phillipa Ballantine and Clara Carija, will be released this July. Next February, the final book in the trilogy titled Alien: Enemy of My Enemy, which was penned by Mary SanGiovanni, will be released. Each book will feature a special RPG scenario for Alien RPG.

Titan Acquisitions Editor Steve Saffel said this:

“The ALIEN RPG has established the ‘Frontier War,’ as remote human colonies come under assault by an unknown enemy, dropping a deadly pathogen that unleashes monsters on those worlds. At the same time, in the wake of the Titan novel Alien: Into Charybdis, political tensions on Earth reach a boiling point.”

Pre-orders for Alien: Colony War can be made here. A synopsis for the book reads:

“On Earth, political tensions boil over between the United Americas, Union of Progressive Peoples, and Three World Empire. Conflict spreads to the outer fringes, and the UK colony of New Albion breaks with the Three World empire. This could lead to a… Colony War.
Trapped in the middle are journalist Cher Hunt, scientist Chad McLaren, and the synthetic Davis. Seeking to discover who caused the death of her sister, Shy Hunt, Cher uncovers a far bigger story. McLaren’s mission, fought alongside his wife Amanda Ripley, is to stop the militarization of the deadliest weapon of all—the Xenomorph.
Their trail leads to a drilling facility on LV-187. Someone or something has destroyed it, killing the personnel, and the British are blamed. Colonial forces arrive, combat erupts, then both groups are overwhelmed by an alien swarm. Their only hope may lie with the Royal Marines unit known as “God’s Hammer.”
