Publisher Description
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 it was 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. Charybdis has a darker history than any could imagine, and its depths harbor deadly secrets. Until their ship can be refueled, the McAllen team is trapped there.
The deeper they dig, the more Shy is convinced there's no one they can believe. 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.

Fantastic 10/10
I didn’t know what to think going into this story, but it has so many layers to it.
Many characters points of view, twist and turns, unexpected return characters and brilliant villains.
Space engineers, icy diplomatic relations, hidden agendas and good old colonial marine gun chaos!
I especially liked the Iranians culture and personal stories in this future setting. With hints of Russian and American culture on display too. It’s a breath of fresh air for the primarily American based character books in the overall series.
This may be one of the best Alien books I’ve ever read.
It also acts as a sequel to The Cold Forge (another brilliant read!) but is also very much its own story with it’s own identity.
It’s a fantastic read, longer than the others I’ve read, but worth every page. I highly recommend this to any Alien/ Aliens fans out there!!!!
