Eisner Award-nominated author Phillip Kennedy Johnson ushered the ALIEN franchise into its new era with Marvel, and this volume collects his entire acclaimed saga in one book!

No one is safe. No one is innocent. And no one can hear you scream! Recently retired, Weyland-Yutani Security Chief Gabriel Cruz gave his life to the corporation -- almost literally, thanks to an alien attack he barely survived! Now, Cruz has only one chance to save his son from the horrific fate he barely escaped! Then, an off-world terraforming station manned by a religious sect has been beset by an outbreak of Xenomorphs, and a brave woman dying from a rare disease must defend her flock against the most perfect killing organisms in the cosmos! And finally, a small colony of synths -- the legendary, unkillable Synthetic Special Operations "Steel Team"-- has settled in secret on a backwater moon. When a company of United System soldiers comes to them for help retrieving biotechnology on a hostile planet that could be the key to saving humanity, the synths must decide whether the prospect of peace between man and machine is worth the risk of betrayal.
