In Volume 1, we learn about alien propagation, how the aliens communicate, and the plan to use them as bioweapons.

In Volume 2, we fast-forward a few years—5, 10, 100, who knows? I don’t think the period of time is mentioned, but we’ve got humans back on Earth, rebuilding after eradicating the Xenomorphs. Most of them, at least.

The volume includes:

• Aliens: Genocide
• Aliens: Harvest
• Aliens: Colonial Marines

What I liked in this book:

• The discovery of Royal Jelly and the impact it has on humans. Royal Jelly is obtained from the Xenomorph Queen, and when consumed, it enhances all human abilities, but it’s also really addictive;
• Xenomorph android development;
• More statements towards a religious side of the Xenomorph phenomenon;
• The existence of some human-like Xenomorphs that are able to interact with them;
• Different types of Xenomorphs that thrive in specific environments, like the one that was present in the oceans on Bracken’s World.
