An FBI agent on the trail of a brutal serial killer gets caught in the web of a Xenomorph-worshipping religion in this thrilling murder mystery twist on the Alien universe, for fans of Scott Sigler's Aliens: Phalanx and Alex White's Cold Forge.

In the affluent, technocratic Alexandria Colony, people are disappearing. And witnesses are dying in grisly, mysterious ways--it all reeks of Xenomorphs. At a loss, the Hume City police call in Special Agent Tyler Matterton to solve what they can't. Tyler is a rising star in the FBI's Esoteric Crime Unit, investigating crimes involving exotic tech or first contact situations--the weird murders.

With the local police department baffled, Tyler and his synthetic partner Serena are set on the case, tracking the killer through the underbelly of Hume City only to find themselves in the middle of something much larger and more horrifying than they possibly imagined. There is a cult at the heart of the Alexandria Colony, and it will stop at nothing to serve its Goddess.

In this latest original novel, discover the world of Alien as you've never seen it before. Veteran sci-fi author Gavin G. Smith's deliciously twisted crime thriller is a terrifying thrill ride sure to hook readers from the first page to the last.
