Collected together for the first time, this action-packed omnibus
of tightly coordinated novels is stuffed to the gills with
jaw-dropping, acid-burning tension, revealing the terrifying events
that occur between the Alien and Aliens movie hits. Out of the
Shadows by Tim Lebbon When a shuttle crashes into the mining ship
Marion, the miners learn that there was more than trimonite deep in
the caverns of planet LV-178. There was evil, hibernating-and
waiting for suitable prey. Quickly they discover that their only
hope lies with the unlikeliest of saviours... Ellen Ripley, the
last human survivor of the Nostromo. Sea of Sorrows by James A.
Moore The Weyland-Yutani Corporation has secrets of its own, as
Decker discovers when he is forced to join a team of mercenaries
sent to investigate an ancient excavation. Somewhere in that
long-forgotten dig lies the thing the company wants most in the
universe-a living Xenomorph. Decker doesn't understand why they
need him, until his own past comes back to haunt him. Centuries
ago, his ancestor fought the Aliens, launching a bloody vendetta
that was never satisfied. River of Pain by Christopher Golden
Protected by the Colonial Marines, the colonists of planet Acheron
seek to terraform the storm-swept planet. Two such residents are
Anne and Russell Jorden, seeking a fortune that eluded them on
Earth. The wildcatters discover a vast, decaying spaceship. The
horseshoe-shaped vessel is of particular interest to
Weyland-Yutani, and may be the answer to their dreams. But what
Anne and Russ find on board proves to the stuff, not of dreams, but
of nightmares.
An action-packed prequel to the new IllFonic video game PREDATOR:
HUNTING GROUNDS - revealing deeply buried secrets in the battle
between the ultimate hunters and their human prey. This official
prequel novel leads into the new PlayStation(R)4 video game from
IllFonic. PREDATOR: STALKING SHADOWS is the bridge between Predator
2 and the current day continuity. U.S. Marine Scott Devlin takes on
a new assignment that begins with the clean-up of a Los Angeles
combat scene revealing what appears to be alien weapons and tech.
His next mission, to an equatorial jungle, seems like an assault on
a drug cartel until his team finds human bodies, skinned and
suspended from the trees. Justifiably freaked out, Devlin digs
deeper and discovers hidden truths, clandestine agencies, savage
opponents... and an unexpected ally. Predator TM & (c) 2019

The sheer volume of topics which could have been included under our
general title prompted us to make some rather arbitrary decisions
about content. Modification by irradiation is not included because
the activity in this area is being treated elsewhere. We have
chosen to emphasize chemical routes to modification and have
striven to pre- sent as balanced a representation of current
activity as time and page count permit. Industrial applications,
both real and potential, are included. Where appropriate, we have
encouraged the contributors to include review material to help
provide the reader with adequate context. The initial chapter is a
review from a historical perspective of polymer modification and
contains an extensive bibliography. The remainder of the book is
divided into four general areas: Reactions and Preparation of
Copolymers Reactions and Preparation of Block and Graft Copolymers
Modification Through Condensation Reactions Applications The
chemical modification of homopolymers such as polyvinylchlo- ride,
polyethylene, poly(chloroalkylene sulfides), polysulfones, poly-
chloromethylstyrene, polyisobutylene, polysodium acrylate,
polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl chloroformate, sulfonated polystyrene;
block and graft copolymers such as
poly(styrene-block-ethylene-co-butylene- block-styrene),
poly(I,4-polybutadiene-block ethylene oxide), star
chlorine-telechelic polyisobutylene,
poly(isobutylene-co-2,3-dimethyl- 1,3-butadiene),
poly(styrene-co-N-butylmethacrylate); cellulose, dex- tran and
inulin, is described.
As a deputy commissioner for the ICC, Alan Decker's job is to make
sure the settlements on LV178 follow all the rules, keeping the
colonists safe. But the planet known as New Galveston holds
secrets, lurking deep beneath the toxic sands dubbed the Sea of
Sorrows. The Weyland-Yutani Corporation has secrets of its own, as
Decker discovers when he is forced to join a team of mercenaries
sent to investigate an ancient excavation. Somewhere in that
long-forgotten dig lies the thing the company wants most in the
universe - a living Xenomorph. Decker doesn't understand why they
need him, until his own past comes back to haunt him. Centuries
ago, his ancestor fought the Aliens, launching a bloody vendetta
that was never satisfied. That was when the creatures swore revenge
on the Destroyer - Ellen Ripley.
The Overlords have risen! They've torn apart the Wellish Steppes
and raised mountains, they're fighting against the gods themselves,
attacking the Daxar Taaalor and bringing the wrath of the
Children of the Forges. They've turned one of the greatest
sorcerers in the history of Fellein to their side and divided the
council of wizards, forcing Desh Krohan into battle with old
allies. The empire is at war. The Sa'ba Taalor are preparing for
battle, and the Overlords have begun their own plans, raising an
army of shapechangers called the War-Born to do their
bidding. The armies of the Overlords are savage, they hunt,
kill and eat their prey. They are endlessly hungry. The final war
is on, one that will change the shape of the
Fellein Empire. Even as the gods involve themselves in the
final confrontations between the empire and the enemies, old
and new. File Under: Fantasy [ Last Stand | The

Brogan McTyre and his compatriots are wanted, dead or alive.
Preferably alive, so they can be sacrificed to the raging gods. All
they can do is hire more mercenaries and turn them into a fearsome
army. But warriors aren't enough when the gods bring Armageddon to
the world, unleashing storms and madness, and ceaseless attacks on
Brogan's men by increasingly demonic foes. Deep in the heart of the
Broken Blades Mountains lies a sword containing the heart of a god
slain in immortal combat, the one thing that might give Brogan an
edge against the gods, but finding it isn't going to be easy...File

For centuries Earth has been visited by warlike creatures that
stalk mankind's finest warriors. Their goals unknown, these deadly
hunters kill their prey and depart as invisibly as they arrived,
leaving no trace other than a trail of bodies. When Roger Elliott
faced such a creature during the Vietnam War, he didn't expect to
survive. Nor did he expect that, decades later, he would train the
Reavers-a clandestine strike force attached to Project Stargazer.
Their mission: to capture one of the creatures, thus proving its
existence, disassembling its tech, and balancing the odds between
the HUNTERS AND HUNTED
The long war with the Sa'ba Taalor has ended, but the land of
Fellein does not know peace - only ceaseless change. A spate of
murders draw the interest of Darsken Murdrow of the Inquisition,
until the hunter becomes the hunted. Andover Lashk of the Iron
Hands seeks a home in a world in which he no longer fits. An unholy
necromancer steals souls, makes sacrifices, and sows fear. And in
the barren wastelands of the Wellish Steppes, the army of the
Godless gathers. Driven from their homeland, abandoned by their
deities, the Godless now follow the banner of a new Master, and are
thirsty for blood.

Brogan McTyre started a war with the gods, and he's going to end
it. Raging gods have laid waste to the Five Kingdoms. Only Torema
remains, swollen with millions of refugees. Their last hope lies in
fleeing by sea, but as storms tear at the coast, even King Opar
can't muster enough ships for them all. Brogan and his warriors
must fight the He-Kisshi to reach the Gateway, the sole portal for
gods to enter the mortal world - and the only place where they can
be killed. But the forces of creation have been unleashed, and
they'll destroy the world to reshape it.File Under: Fantasy [

While the Avengers are in space opposing a massive alien threat, Thanos and the Black Order launch an attack against the Earth.
The Avengers journey to deep space to unite the Kree, the Shi’ar, the Skrulls, and countless other intergalactic races against the Builders—technologically advanced aliens with an armada large enough to destroy the known galaxy. While the heroes are absent, Thanos the Mad Titan sets his sights on Earth, sending the Black Order to launch the assault. It falls to the other heroes of Earth—the Inhumans, the Black Panther, Namor the Sub-Mariner, Doctor Strange, the X-Men, and more—to defend Attilan, Wakanda, Atlantis, and the rest of the planet. To defeat Thanos, the defending forces will need to employ a new weapon—one that may be as deadly as the invading force.
