Collected together for the first time, this action-packed omnibus is filled with secrets, lies, and the silver smile of the deadly Xenomorphs. Across three epic novels, see how the Xenomorph doctrine of Weyland-Yutani and Venture is a short and angry road to hell. Cold Forge With the failure of Hadley's Hope, Weyland-Yutani has suffered a devastating setback-the loss of the Xenomorphs they aggressively sought to exploit. Yet there's a reason the company rose to the top. True to form, they have a redundancy already in place... the facility known as The Cold Forge. When Dorian Sudler is sent to assess their progress, he discovers that there's a spy aboard-someone who doesn't necessarily act in the company's best interests. If unmasked, this person may be forced to destroy the entire station... and everyone on board. That is, if the Xenomorphs don't do the job first. Prototype Corporate spy Tamar Prather steals a steals a Xenomorph egg from Weland-Yutani, taking it to a lab run by Venture, a direct rival to the Weyland-Yutani corporation. Unaware of the dangers it poses, the scientists come to an inevitable conclusion: they need a human test subject... Former Colonial Marine Zula Hendricks has been tasked with training personnel to deal with anything that gets thrown their way. Yet nothing can them prepare them for the horror that breaks out of Venture's lab. Unless stopped, it will kill every human being on the planet. Into Charybdis It was supposed to be an easy job for "Shy" Hunt and the McAllen Integrations crew: set up environmental systems for the brand new Hasanova Data Solutions colony, an Iranian state-owned colony built on the abandoned complex known as "Charybdis." But the ruins have a darker history than any could imagine, and its depths harbor deadly secrets. The deeper they dig, the more Shy is convinced there's no one they can believe. When a bizarre ship lands on a nearby island, one of the workers is attacked by a taloned creature, and trust evaporates between the Iranians and Americans. The McAllen integrations crew are imprisoned, accused as spies, but manage to send out a distress signal... to the Colonial Marines.

When a neighboring kingdom overthrows the crown, Veier's imprisonment ends, but true freedom is not so easily earned.

The serial and the sartorial: permutations of a motif in new portraits by Alex Katz Published for the artist’s 2021 show at Gray Chicago, Alex Katz: The White Coat debuts the latest series from Alex Katz (born 1927), titled Vivien in White Coat: 11 large-scale portraits depicting Vivien Bittencourt, the painter’s daughter-in-law, wearing a radiant white coat. Using a palette dominated by white, black and pale blue, Katz radically crops and magnifies the figure from an array of dynamic perspectives within the picture plane. Balancing the specific and the abstract, the intimate and the remote, the geometric and the gestural, Katz positions the figure in space with deftness, brevity and sartorial elegance. Notwithstanding Katz’s seriality, the white coat appears mysterious and enigmatic within each composition. Alex Katz: The White Coat features an essay by renowned curator and writer Jan Verwoert, 42 color illustrations and an artist’s biography.
