Alien: Uncivil War is a 2024 science fiction horror novel written by Brendan Deneen and published by Titan Books, with cover artwork by Marco Turini. It is the 17th book in Titan's Alien series. Set shortly after the events of Alien Resurrection in 2381, the book centers the story around the USM soldier Chris Temple trying to protect his family from an escaped Xenomorph before crashlanding on planet LV-1213 inhabited by the mining colony Omega Seven Tango on the edge of civil war.
The book was originally envisioned as an alternate Alien 3 story, but after publisher pressure developed into an original story following the aftermath of the events of Resurrection, the author being provided with the essential information and materials on the Alien universe and intending this new canonical entry to "stay as true as possible to every aspect of the franchise" and appeal to the wider fanbase while expanding upon the timeline post-Resurrection.[1][2] The book notably ties into the films Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem and Prometheus with the feature of Cullen Yutani and Peter Weyland, as well as the video game Predator: Concrete Jungle with Borgia Industries.
