The Predator series collects the novels based on the popular science fiction franchise about alien hunters who stalk dangerous prey across the galaxy. The first book, a novelization of the 1987 film, adapts the story of a special forces team encountering an alien warrior in a Central American jungle. Predator 2 follows with the 1990 film adaptation set in Los Angeles.
From there, the series expands with original novels set in the same universe. Books like Concrete Jungle, Cold War, and Forever Midnight create new encounters between humans and the Predator creatures in different times and places. The franchise attracts authors who enjoy writing action and science fiction horror, and the fourteen entries span from 1987 to 2022.
The series includes Hunters and Hunted, the official prequel to the 2018 film, showing how the novel line continues to tie into the movie franchise. Multiple authors have contributed to the series over the decades, giving each entry a somewhat different feel while maintaining the core concept of humans facing alien predators.
