"Alien: Colony War" is a novel by David Barnett, published by Titan Books in April 2022. It follows the events of "Alien: Into Charybdis" and introduces Chad McLaren, the husband of Amanda Ripley.
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. Cher wants to know who caused the death of her sister Shy, while McLaren is trying to stop the Xenomorph from being turned into a weapon. Their trail leads to a drilling facility on LV-187, destroyed with all its personnel, and the British are blamed. Colonial forces arrive, fighting breaks out, and both sides are overwhelmed by an alien swarm.
Political conflicts on Earth erupt into open hostilities between their colonies in space, with Xenomorphs as the ultimate weapon.
