Book Description

Series: Aliens Vs. Predator | Publication Date: December 7, 2006

The new world was an unspoiled frontier perfect for colonization, a virtual paradise of boundless beauty and limitless resources, untouched by human hands...but not untouched, as the unsuspecting colonists soon discovered. Now marooned on a planet infested with the deadliest Alien species ever encountered, the colonists learn firsthand the Law of the Jungle: adapt or become extinct. And a little helping hand couldn't hurt, inexplicably provided by the selfsame Predators who destroyed the colonists' ship and made them prisoners in paradise. Are these extraterrestrial hunters actually showing sympathy for the humans' plight, or do they have something even more monstrous in mind?

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice follow up to Thrill of the Hunt, June 30, 2009

When the first AvP movie came out Dark Horse released a comic called Thrill of the Hunt, this was back in 2004. That comic didn't have much action and was mostly build-up, so naturally I was a bit annoyed that the first AvP comic to come out since the 90's didn't have much AvP action.

Well this comic came out four years after TotH, and there are plenty of panels devoted to the violent deaths of aliens and predators, being killed of course by each other. The predators seem to come out on top in the end and the lead predator does something quite amazing. I wasn't too crazy about the story being set after Alien Resurrection, but I still enjoyed this comic a lot thanks to good art and plenty of action.

Hello, I read this book and enjoyed it. I found the story a little hard to fatham, but it is not my book. The Predators were like rookie Predators and not the real good ones. I know all of you are tired of hearing this, but I still do not feel that the authors of any of the Predator books really understand these creatures or the art of hunting. I think you will enjoy the book if you do not think about it too much and just read it. Thanks.
