Aliens Library Edition Series by John Arcudi, Jimmy Palmiotti, Ellie De Ville, Mark Verheiden, Mark A. Nelson, Jim Woodring, Kilian Plunkett

Wilks was a space marine with a near-fatal flaw: he had a heart. Billie was a child, the only survivor of a far-flung colony outpost. Thrown together in the last hellish night of an Alien invasion, Billie and Wilks helped each other get out alive. Thirteen years later, Wilks is in prison and Billie lives in a mental institution.

Rumor has it that Paul Church, the Colonel Doctor in charge of the research facility, has been running tests to determine what makes the Aliens tick and that he's using Colonial Marines as bait. Well, the US Government doesn't like rumors - they like facts. And so they've sent Colonel Doctor Anthony Crespi to investigate.

Dr Caspar is developing a micro-organism that is deadly to Aliens, but not to people. He's had a lot of luck engineering selective viruses to kill rats and weevils, but this is something altogether different. In a remote sector of the galaxy, on an isolated Grant-Corp space station, the thin line between science and horror is narrowing.
