Book 4 in the Aliens series.
This time it's war . . . between the creatures themselves.
The Alien queen is dead, the hive mind left to flounder . . . and on a world bereft of its only guiding force, a schism is now taking place: two strands of Alien, formerly united by one all-powerful mother, divide their forces for world-shattering, acid-drenched war.
Soon, they'll be in our blood . . .
On Earth, athletes are flocking to the Goodwill Games. But some come with a deadly new tool; a drug called Fire, distilled from the very essence of Alien body chemistry. The military wants it. Pharmaceutical kingpin Daniel Grant wants it. But the only place the essential ingredient can be found is on that terrible world, convulsed by Alien holocaust . . .
