Beschreibung
The critically acclaimed author of Alien: The Cold Forge takes readers to a rogue colony where terror lurks in the tunnels of an abandoned Weyland-Yutani complex.
"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 complex 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.

A fast-paced, sci-fi horror dream of a book. - Book Riot A fresh tale of dread... provides ample shocks and screams - Space.comI can't stress this enough ...

Praise for Alien: The Cold Forge
"The Cold Forge is simply the most original and gripping Alien novel I've had the pleasure of reading for a long time."--Aliens vs. Predator Galaxy
"An intense ride through a story that may sound familiar but manages to constantly subvert--and surpass--expectations"--Dread Central
"No book or film has portrayed the people behind the Weyland-Yutani Corporation as more vile and despicable as author Alex White has envisioned them."--Borg.com
"Alex White's story would make a damn fine movie in itself."--Set the Tape
"Alex White weaves an enthralling tale of humanity at its best and worst, wrapped in the life or death struggle all Alien fans have come to cherish... I can say with certainty this is the best book I have read from Titan Books."--MovieNooz
Praise for Alex White:
"A clever fusion of magic and sci-fi makes this book a total blast. I was hooked from page one."--V.E. Schwab, author of A Darker Shade of Magic on A Big Ship at the Edge of the Universe
"[The Big Ship at the Edge of the Universe is] a fast-paced adventure with charismatic characters and formidable enemies in a realized universe of greed and power"--Booklist
Fast, compelling, epic in scope, with stakes that just keep getting higher and tension that mounts and mounts to the breaking point."--Locus on A Bad Deal for the Whole Galaxy
"[Every Mountain Made Low is] a good story, in a world I want to see more of, with an ambitiously portrayed main character - I enjoyed it, and I'd recommend you give it a try."--Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviews
"[Every Mountain Made Low] is an all-nighter and it's worth it as the ending is quirky (just like the rest of the book). I cannot wait to read Alex White's next novel."--Night Owl Reviews
