I'd try and pick up Alien Earth Hive if you can. Earth Hive, Nightmare Asylum, and Female war are a trio. Genocide and Harvest come after those. Those can be read before the others or after. But 1-3 go in order with recurring characters. Cold Forge and Covenant are separate stories, so continuity arent an issue. |

Read Covenant Origins before the film novelization but be warned: he wrote the novelization first and then the prequel, so the character development from the prequel is not carried over into the film adaptation. It is a minor quibble though. Cold Forge has a sequel that just came out last week titled ALIEN: Into Charybdis, so keep an eye out for that one as well. |
