“It’s a changing world, a changing universe.”

It was not too long ago that a xenomorphological species of apparent extraterrestrial origin appeared on Earth. As with most invasive species, it thrived. In some spots, its proliferation led many to believe that the human race itself would go extinct. With planet Earth locked in a deadly duel with the xenomorph menace, this story takes place billions of miles away and follows a small group of explorers adventuring and studying Alien biology on a foreign world.

Story/Spoilers
In part #1, A group of wildcat planetary prospectors plant their flag on a distant new world, rich in land, resources… and the greatest archaeological discovery in history, an ancient complex of impossible proportions carved deep within the living rock, a mind-numbing labyrinth of passages, ramps, bridges, and galleries that seems to extend limitlessly. But as the exploration of the leviathan dead city proceeds deeper and deeper, the members of the team slowly begin to lose their grip on reality, and madness gives way to fear as the explorers begin to disappear. Something else lives within the necropolis, a faceless horror as deadly and merciless as space itself, a lethal terror that has waited centuries to awake – and destroy!

Next in part #2, A strange, abandoned city of impossible scale lies ready to give up its secrets, but at what cost? Jealously guarded by a half-mad group of planetary prospectors, the labyrinthine necropolis may be a treasure trove of incomparable wealth, or a funeral complex with no exit, as an archaeological team from Earth discovers too late. But these off-planet interlopers soon become the least of the prospectors’ worries, as their priceless possession offers up a monstrous surprise of murderous beasts from the darkest abyssal nightmare… and the prospectors only hope may lie in the unmarked graves of those they themselves betrayed.

Next in part #3, Untold trillions of miles from Earth, the planet Chione holds limitless treasures, ancient mysteries… and horrors beyond imagination. In the presence of the greatest archaeological discovery in human history, biologist David Sereda’s journey of discovery becomes a desperate rescue mission as he plunges alone into a vast, maze-like necropolis to save the life of a woman trapped amidst an infestation of deadly xenomorphs. But when Sereda comes face to face with the madmen who murdered his crew-and buried him alive-he begins to doubt his quest as he realizes that for any hope of success in the midst of monsters, Sereda may need to make a deal with devils.

Finally in part #4, Can an android dream? After waking from what appears to be just that, the android Sereda struggles with the idea that he may be more damaged than he originally thought. Still, whether it’s simply his programming or a newly found free will, Sereda is hell bent on effecting the rescue of the woman whose voice brought him down into the bewildering maze of a seemingly endless necropolis. Most of the surviving planetary prospectors are willing to follow him into the labyrinth, but there are two major obstacles to the rescue mission: a horde of marauding xenomorphs, and the man who shot Sereda, who isn’t about to let a damaged synthetic lead the other survivors anywhere.
