“With his latest, Hamill dips his toes into the xenomorph universe with an original story set after the events of Alien 3.”
Caught in a spiral of desperation, Cynthia Goodwin throws judgement out the window to keep her ship and crew in a job and agrees to meet with billionaire Roman Fade.
The job: go to abandoned New Providence and return with Fade’s former lover, renowned artist Corinth Bloch.
And no one knows exactly what happened on New Providence. Or why it’s under quarantine. Bloch might be a brilliant artist, but he’s also deranged, obsessed with dark imagery of horrifying creatures. Bloch is driven by an almost religious fervour for the ultimate subject for his art … Of the drive to capture the sublime terror of the perfect organism …
