In 1979, the blockbuster film Alien changed science fiction forever. Ellen Ripley, in a career-making performance by Sigourney Weaver, discovered a terrifying, unstoppable alien-the most memorable movie monster of all time.

Now Imprint is partnering with Twentieth Century Fox to tell a new Alien story for young adult readers.

Olivia and her twin sister Viola have been dragged around the universe for as long as they can remember. Their parents, both xenobiologists, are always in high demand for their research into obscure alien biology.

Just settled on a new colony world, they discover an alien threat unlike anything they've ever seen. And suddenly the sisters' world is ripped apart.

On the run from terrifying aliens, Olivia's knowledge of xenobiology and determination to protect her sister are her only weapons as the colony collapses into chaos. But then a shocking family secret bursts open-one that's as horrifying to Olivia as the aliens surrounding them.

The creatures infiltrate the rich wildlife on this virgin colony world-and quickly start adapting. Olivia's going to have to adapt, too, if she's going to survive...

Mira Grant is an acclaimed horror novelist for adult and YA who's also the pseudonym for Seanan McGuire, the bestselling award-winning author of adult and YA fantasy and science fiction. She's the perfect writer for this unique brand that's thrived for generations of fans.
