When an industrial spy steals a Xenomorph egg, former Colonial Marine Zula Hendricks must prevent an alien from killing everyone on an isolated colony planet.

When a human test subject is impregnated, the result is a Xenomorph that, unless it's stopped, will kill every human being on the planet.

Alien: Prototype by Tim Waggoner delivers a gripping tale of suspense and survival in a world where the stakes have never been higher.
