A brand new Alien novel is on the way from Titan Books, we’re excited to report this morning. Titled Alien: Into Charybdis, the novel is Alex White’s second in the extended world of the Alien franchise following 2018’s critically and fan-acclaimed Alien: The Cold Forge!
In the brand new standalone adventure:
“Shy” Hunt and the tech team from McAllen Integrations thought they’d have an easy job—set up environmental systems for the brand new Hasanova Data Solutions colony, built on the abandoned ruins of a complex known as “Charybdis”. There are just two problems: the colony belongs to the Iranian state, so diplomacy is strained at best, and the colony is located above a series of hidden caves that contain deadly secrets. When a bizarre ship lands on a nearby island, one of the workers is attacked by a taloned creature, and trust evaporates between the Iranians and Americans. The McAllen Integrations crew are imprisoned, accused as spies, but manage to send out a distress signal… to the Colonial Marines.
Titan Books editor Steve Saffel says, “It’s very exciting to be working with Alex again! They bring an incredible amount of passion and veracity to the Alien universe. The result is guaranteed to get under the reader’s skin in ways you would never expect.”
The publication is set for February 25, 2021 from Titan Books.
