Books

Concrete Jungle

During a blistering heat wave in New York, police begin to discover evidence of a sadistic killer. Detective Shaefer, the brother of Arnold Schwarzenegger's character 'Dutch' from the first Predator film, quickly learns it is the extraterrestrial hunters, drawn by the heat and the prey.

Cold War

When a Predator spacecraft crashlands in the isolated Northern tundra of Siberia, Detective Shaefer is called upon to aid the US military in capturing the technology. Unfortunately, the Russian forces have their eyes on the craft as well.

Big Game

U.S. Army Corporal Enoch Nakai, must rediscover his Navajo roots in a fight to the death with an alien Predator.

Forever Midnight

Parts of the story are told from the viewpoint of the Predators which brought a number of challenges. In particular the author John Shirley had to expand the Predator language. This novel also sparked a lot of controversy among fans of the Yautja name and culture explored in the Aliens vs. Predator novels, since John Shirley ignored that section of the franchise and instead created his own name and culture for the Predator race, the "Hish."
