By Mary SanGiovanni. Cover by Marco Turini.

While a moon hurtles toward certain destruction, taking with it a Weyland-Yutani bioweapons lab, talks on a nearby colony could lead to all-out war among the colonies.

Hygeia, an outer rim colony, is doomed as the moon on which it was built hurtles toward an inevitable collision with the dead planet Hephaestus. When a distress signal arrives from a Weyland-Yutani biowarfare outpost near the colony, a desperate plan is launched to evacuate the trapped scientists and colonists. Their destination: LV-846, a key United Americas colony where high-level talks are scheduled to address the galaxy-wide hostilities between the colonies. Once there the evacuees, including a contingent of Colonial Marines, discover a plot that could plunge the colonies into all-out war. Their only hope may be an alliance with the deadliest ally imaginable.

BONUS MATERIAL: exclusive to this book, a new RPG scenario from Free League, publishers of the award-winning Alien role-playing game.

By Clara Carija and Philippa Ballantine. Cover by Alex Ronald.

As war rages among the colonies, a huge ship appears over the UPP mining planet Shanmen, unleashing black rain of death that yields hideous transformations.

Monstrous creatures swarm the colony, and rescue is too far away to arrive in time. The survivors are forced to seek shelter in the labyrinth of tunnels deep beneath the surface. Already the grave to so many, these shafts may become the final resting place for all who remain.

Hope appears in the form of the vessel Righteous Fury. It carries the Jackals – an elite mix of Colonial Marines led by Zula Hendricks. Faced with a horde of grotesque mutations, the Jackals seek to rescue the few survivors from the depths of the planet. But have they arrived too late?

Bonus Feature: A exclusive new game scenario based on the massively popular, award-winning Alien RPG from Free League Publishing!

Kim Harrison's urban paranormals series, Hollows - starring sexy young witch Rachel Morgan - has sold more than a million copies in North America alone. Now comes this original, full-color graphic-novel scripted by Harrison herself, revealing the never-before-told backstory between Rachel Morgan and the vampire, Ivy Tamwood.

Sexy and action-filled, Blood Work will bring to life the characters that Harrison's fans have loved since publication of the first Hollows novel, Dead Witch Walking. Fans have been asking for years what Rachel and Ivy's first experience as partners in the I.S. (Inderland Security) was like. The answer? Stormy!

Assigned as an intern under Ivy's supervision, Rachel's got plenty to prove, while Ivy has to face that this very attractive - and frustratingly self-assured - young earth witch, controls powers that Ivy can't match. Ivy's got one big question as well. Did Piscary, her vampire master, set this partnership up? And if so, why?
