I loved this! I've recently watched all the alien and predator films and really fell in love with them. It really surprised me. The relationship between Dachande & Noguchi is amazing. The communication/differences/similarities was so interesting. It was so emotional. The short chapters and switch of point of views was great.

Let me start off by saying this was ten times better than either of the AVP movies. THIS is the movie they should have made. I remember when this comic first came out, and this before crossovers were really common so the idea of seeing Aliens and Predators in the same comic was just awesome. And thankfully it mostly lived up the hype. This one is set on a desert planet that is being used to raise livestock for meat by human colonists. Unbeknownst to the humans, Predators had been seeding the plan...more

The enemy of my enemy is my friend which seems to be the theme in the book Alien vs. Predator Prey by Steve Perry and Stephani Perry. The setting is in the future where people manage to leave Earth onto a planet called Ryushi. The book starts out with two pilots Scott and Tom are in hyperspace on a giant ship called The Lector. In space a group of hunters (predators) are preparing for a massive hunt. Dachande was the leader of this hunting group and he was an honorable warrior and was in charge...more
So how did it take me so long to realize this book existed? I am a HUGE fan of anything to do with Predator, Alien, Alien vs. Predator (i've watched all the movies like 20 times). And then they give me Machiko Noguchi, corporate businesswoman turned bad-ass Alien hunter? Teaming up with a Predator? And on an alien desert planet? I repeat, how did it take me so long to realize this book existed? To be honest, if I could choose one life for myself, Machiko's would be it. I actually had to stop mys...more
I can only say if you are a sci-fi fan and especially a fan of the Predator film series/graphic novels then you MUST read this book. It shows a bit more of the Predator race (also known as Yautja), world and language through the eyes of Dachande/Yeyinde/”Broken Tusk”, a Yautja warrior who is a magnificent and extremely honorable example of his culture. On the other hand we have Machiko Noguchi as his human equivalent in strength and courage; she actually reminds me a lot of Lt. Ellen Ripley from...more
Great book I read it either in Junior high or high school. This book has nothing to do with the movie and came out before all of the games. This is far better than the movie which basically hacks up the normal story line of this particular universe, and belongs in a completely different one. There have been many books and comics by Dark horse on both the Aliens and Predator and a combination of both, pushing back into the late 80's. This is one of the few books that give you a perspective on wha...more

This was written in response to the game Alien Vs. Predator and it discusses the origins of how humans get involved with both species. I think this would have made a much better movie than the script used in the A v P movie released. Having a hidden temple near Antartica was a bit of a stretch. This book is set after man has gone to space and encountered the beast from the Alien. The book was enjoyable, and Steve Perry does like doing personal fights scenes, mostly with swords or hand to hand com...more

This book was released in 1994, years before the first film that pits these two creatures against each other. In this first novel, Machiko Noguchi must deal with the discovery that both the predator and Alien have come to the colony of Ryushi near Prosperity Wells. This book makes the first cooperative teaming of human and predator. This is a great action science fiction novel. It is a must for AVP fans.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book and the subsequent avp stories. Predators are awesome, so are aliens. Put them together and you just get awesomness all round.
A good premise, though I could do without all the cursing.
I Read this when i was in High school, and no other book has been able to capture me like it.I couldnt put this down and demolished it in 1 day. This lead me to more of Steve perrys work, as i am an avid sci fi reader, i did finish this trilogy which i believe Steven Perry co wrote. Unlike previous Reviews; I read this precedeing any of the alien versus predator movies. I feel the reason, I didnt enjoy the Movies as much is was because i was expecting a much more complex relationship between the...more
Part one of a trilogy. A nice romp in the horror realm of Alien/Predator, also a bit more insight into the Predators motives other than to hunt, it's all about honour. These guys are like Klingons but on a really,really bad day and with cooler weapons. Typically, humans throw a spanner in the works by colonising one of there training grounds that is used to test new young would be warriors. Human greed leads to a shitstorm of trouble for the 'oomans' as the infected 'cattle' spawn a horde of our 'l...more
This book has some REALLY cool parts (including the best finale of either franchise since Aliens.) I just wasn't a fan of the Predator POV chapters. They ruined the mystery surrounding the Predators, which I wouldn't have minded if they were written well and maybe had some Alien POV chapters to fully utilize the concept. When the Predators speak, however, it translates to generic B-movie indigenous alien banter, and it's just cheesy as hell.
Moves at a quick enough pace to keep you interested and some of the visuals are pretty cool. The characters names are a little confusing at times but it is ultimately harmless fun for any Alien vs Predator vs Humans fan.
This book turned out to be a great read, which is more than I can say for the others that are usually included in the Omnibus bundle. This is what the first AvP *should* have been.

I read this one a few years ago.. It is pretty good.. a little different..
This book is so much fun, I loved it so much. Well written and executed, it's a great read for anyone who loves Aliens vs Predator.

Why was this so damn good?? This was better than it had any right to be.
There were a handful of stale bits of dialogue and about seven typos that I spotted. But putting that aside, this was a really suspenseful, fun story.
simple easy reading, not a very complex storyline. I do like the insights given on the Predator / Alien relationship

Adaptation of the very popular first AvP comic series by Randy Stradley from 1990. Co-written by father-daughter team, it is a straightforward adaptation with bits and pieces of new scenes taking place before, between and/or after scenes from the comics. But the major MAJOR contribution that the Perrys did was to add the Predator point of view. A lot of words from their language are revealed, including the names of their weapons, ship & equipment. It is very interesting to read how the yautja...more

Surprisingly engaging and a fun, fast read (okay, I may have put it down because of distractions and stuff). So far, the best example of the 'Aliens Vs. Predators' fiction while hitting on a lot of familiar beats from the Alien franchise (blue collar workers and people of low-rung standing, a overseeing corporate presence, strong female lead who has to steel herself to a difficult situation and dig deep within to find perseverance, etc.) While it can feel like it's connecting dots, it does somet...more
Read this in 8th grade, probably at least twice since. The cover says it all. In fact, the cover is so awesome, even i got some positive attention from my peers when i was carrying it around. My friend, Larry the Ninja was quite taken with it. At any rate, this book is what the AVP should have been. A future story in the alien universe, on a colony planet. And the predators decided to turn it into a game preserve. With xenomorphs. This book is so awesome, the first AVP movie pretty much stole tha...more
I give it 3 stars, but lean a little more toward 3.5. The story started pretty slowly, but once everyone was on Ryushi and the action started, everything really picked up. I flew through the last half of the book. I don't usually read sci-fi, and this book was borrowed and read as a recommendation. Turns out, the story was pretty good, and having already seen AVP, I found it pretty interesting. Also, I'm not usually a fan of epilogues, but this one really added something. Not only did we see the...more
I love this book. It's my go to book when I feel like toughening up and getting serious about something! Reading this book gives me a back bone! Machiko Noguchi is possibly one of the coolest female lead characters ever! I'd love to meet her. She is written so well- tough and capable, yet still very much human. 5 stars :) As so many other people have said, why didn't they turn this into a movie rather then the incredibly stupid and disappointing AvP films they have made lately??
Absolutely love this book, don't get me wrong it's not amazingly written or particularly original in any way. However, you really feel for the characters and easily identify with them. This book is what the film aliens vs predator should have been based on and unfortunately wasn't. A good read, not challenging but it fills the aAvP hole in my life very well thank you :)

This one did not take long to finish once I found the time. If you have seen the films, odds are good you may like books in this series. For me, the book was interesting because it gave more insight into the culture of the predators. The action is pretty good, and the ending pretty much goes along with Noguchi's character. A light entertaining read.

This was fast paced and gave some great back story about the relationship between aliens and predators (the yautja). Machiko is a great character with good depth. I'm pleasantly surprised and looking forward to the next one.
In this book is a whole new world viewed by both humans and a species known to us as Predators. There is a war and humanity is smack-dab in the middle of it. Which side will we choose and how will we survive?

Aliens Vs. Predator(3 books)
If you’re a typical game player, you already know the story and concept behind Aliens versus Predator. You’ve seen the movies, read the comic books, played with the toys, and maybe even helped Jesse Ventura become governor of Minnesota. In 1994, Rebellion software created what is generally considered to be one of the ill-fated Atari Jaguar’s best games and the definitive use of the license to date, Alien versus Predator. Five years later, the company has remade the game for the PC, bringing half a decade of technology and gameplay advancements to bear on its previous effort, and the result is excellent.
On the surface, Aliens versus Predator is a 3D action shooter of the old (pre-Half Life) school: Armed with a variety of weapons you doggedly, repeatedly move from point A to point B, killing anything in your way, riding on elevators, and flipping lots of switches. Where the game deviates from the norm, and succeeds beyond expectations, is in its rendering of three distinct viewpoints and its effective re-creation of the film series’ unrelieved sense of dread.
Each of the game’s three characters – the titular Predator and Alien, and the hapless human Marine – has his own plot, composed of six levels (five in the case of the Alien). The story portion of these campaigns, though, is virtually missing; the levels have little continuity between them, except for a vague sense that you are traveling from one connected place to another, and equipment acquired on one level does not carry over to the next. Luckily, a lack of coherent plot is not as much of a liability for Aliens versus Predator as it would be for almost any other game, because the history and motivation of each main character are understood implicitly, as they are simply part of the pop-culture landscape. The entire game is essentially a series of set pieces designed to evoke a mood of anxiety and lurking terror. And this Aliens versus Predator does very, very well. Emerging from a cramped hallway into total darkness, scattering a few flares around to discover that you’ve entered a five-story hangar containing a huge alien ship, then hearing your motion detector scream to life as something starts to move in the pitch blackness is an experience in horror unrivaled in gaming.
The engine that brings this all to life is not exactly state of the art, but is close enough to more than adequately render the game’s environments. The developers have wisely chosen to focus their attention on effective lighting: Fluorescents crackle to life in response to your entering a room, flashing red lights accompany warning klaxons, and hissing flares bathe dark areas in an eerie white glow. The corona effects made popular by Unreal are here in abundance, and if strobing, colored lights are sometimes overused, they remain true to the Alien films, which share a similar fascination with mood-heightening, seizure-inducing lighting schemes. The levels take place, for the most part, in assorted military installations, with occasional forays into alien hives and the familiar tall canyons that pass for outdoor scenery in most shooters. More often than not, though, the locations are interesting and filled with enough architectural surprises, bric-a-brac from the various films, and cool extras (like glimpsing spaceships rumbling past windows), to ensure that the environments remain exciting. The game is especially successful when rendering derelict Alien spacecraft. The recreation of H.R. Giger’s sleek design is almost flawless, from the enormous, curved hulls to the overtly erotic entryways.
