The Aliens vs. Predator novel series brings together the two iconic science fiction horror franchises in prose form. Based on the Dark Horse Comics crossover rather than the later films, these books pit humans, Xenomorphs, and Predators against each other on remote colony worlds. The series started with Prey in 1994 and continued with Hunter’s Planet and War through 1999.

This is a multi-author franchise series. Steve Perry wrote Prey, David Bischoff wrote Hunter’s Planet, and S.D. Perry wrote War. Some entries in the list above are alternate editions with slightly different titles (for example, “Aliens vs. Predator: Hunter’s Planet” and “Hunter’s Planet” are the same book). The three core novels can be read in publication order for the best experience.
