The best way to go would be to just nab a couple of the Aliens Omnibus' Theres 6 of them in total and they capture pretty much anything that you could imagine with aliens. The first book picks up directley after the events of ALIENS and feature Hicks and Newt in the direct storyline. Theres also a 8 part that follows a squad of Colonial Marines. Great stories. All of em. Best Part is theres 6 of them that are all at least 350+ pages of alien awesomeness. I like to use tfaw.com to order em!

The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury, "The book lies somewhere between a short story collection and an episodic novel, containing stories Bradbury originally published in the late 1940s in science fiction magazines". This is a quick read about the colonization of Mars, If you like Twilight Zone, or Sci-Fi this is Required reading.

I have yet to read his [b]Alien: No Exit[/b] (or [b]Dead Space: Martyr[/b]), but Brian Evenson(B.K. Evenson) is an excellent writer of his own material. Highly recommend his books--check out [b]Last Days[/b] or one of his short story collections.

Aliens:Steel Egg was great. If a direct Alien prequel were to be made, then this is the book to do it from.

@Carlos: yes, the podcast I posted a link to has some hilarious things to say about the inner mental processes of the cat!

"Steel Egg" and Aliens:"Music of the Spears". They were the better ones I read but Music might be a little wierd for some people. Book II is Nighmare Aylum.
