About this ebook

An FBI agent on the trail of a brutal serial killer gets caught in the web of a Xenomorph-worshipping religion in this thrilling murder mystery twist on the Alien universe, for fans of Scott Sigler's Aliens: Phalanx and Alex White's Cold Forge.

In the affluent, technocratic Alexandria Colony, people are disappearing. And witnesses are dying in grisly, mysterious ways—it all reeks of Xenomorphs. At a loss, the Hume City police call in Special Agent Tyler Matterton to solve what they can't. Tyler is a rising star in the FBI's Esoteric Crime Unit, investigating crimes involving exotic tech or first contact situations—the weird murders.

With the local police department baffled, Tyler and his synthetic partner Serena are set on the case, tracking the killer through the underbelly of Hume City only to find themselves in the middle of something much larger and more horrifying than they possibly imagined. There is a cult at the heart of the Alexandria Colony, and it will stop at nothing to serve its Goddess.

In this latest original novel, discover the world of Alien as you've never seen it before. Veteran sci-fi author Gavin G. Smith's deliciously twisted crime thriller is a terrifying thrill ride sure to hook readers from the first page to the last.

Part Cyberpunk, part western and a whole lot of weird s%^t, the best way I can describe Alien: Cult is it's an absolute wild ride and an experience that every Alien fan should explore. At times it might stretch what may be possible or should be in the franchise, yet it never loses the core identity of Alien and above all, I applaud the author for doing something different. Cult isn't the same Alien book you've read before, it's a whole new beast. This is front and centre, a crime thriller set in the Alien franchise and the author sticks to that. It's not some gimmick tossed aside to get to the Alien, the book keeps to it's genre and gives us something unqiue and interesting. Will people have issues with some of Cults ideas? Quite possibly yes, however I strongly recommend they give it a chance because Gavin Smith has given us something very interesting here and i kook forward to discussing the book with others in the fandom. More like this please Titan! Also give Gavin another book!
