Out now from Titan Books and from Author Brendan Deneen comes Alien: Uncivil War, the story of Chris Temple, a former marine and recently widowed single father travelling through space with his two younger daughters  Jane and Emma. The ship they are on heads for a crash landing due to a loose xenomorph onboard and the children and their father end up being stuck on an outpost planet.

Chris is told that the ship has been destroyed beyond recognition and nothing could have survived the crash. That’s only the first lie. Chris and his daughters love their new life, but something doesn’t feel right. Chris is a paranoid type, but just because he’s paranoid, doesn’t mean he’s wrong.

There are nasty surprises in store as Chris investigates the web of lies and conspiracies. After leaving a ruined Earth, it seems Chris and his daughters have crash-landed on a planet on the verge of all-out civil war. Chris will have to call on the battle skills he never wanted to use again in order to protect his daughters, deal with violence-hungry marines, and battle the xenomorph that’s killing people regardless of which side of the civil war they’re on. 

Alien Uncivil War is out now and can be bought HERE 

I actually don’t think I have read an Alien book since the Alan Dean Foster novelisation many years ago, which I really enjoyed. The world of the Xenomorph I think does open itself up wonderfully to the written word as the imagination is a powerful thing when watching an Alien movie, and with the talented writings of Brendan, I think that this bodes fantastically for Alien:Uncivil War, Its definitely a book I plan on picking up as soon as I can.

Brendan Deneen is the author of the award-winning novel THE NINTH CIRCLE as well as THE CHRYSALIS,  a 2018 horror novel that was optioned by Paramount before it was published.  He’s also the author of the bestselling, four-volume NIGHT NIGHT GROOT picture book series for Marvel; the original middle grade graphic novel GREEN ARROW: STRANDED for DC Comics; and the bestselling novels MORBIUS: BLOOD TIES and GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: ANNIHILATION from Marvel/Titan, and ALIEN: UNCIVIL WAR from 20th Century Studios/Titan. His next novel is the post-apocalyptic romance/thriller TRACER, which comes out in 2025 from Blackstone Publishing. His other graphic novel work includes multiple volumes of FLASH GORDON, an original ISLAND OF MISFIT TOYS book, a CASPER THE FRIENDLY GHOST reboot, PHOENIX (with Jim Krueger), SOLARMAN (a reboot of a Marvel/Stan Lee series), and the original graphic novel SCATTERBRAIN.  His short stories and essays have been published by St. Martin’s Press, Reader’s Digest Books, 13Thirty Press, and Necro Publications.
