Product Description
Machiko Noguchi accepted the assignment of supervising the ranching colony on Ryushi as a challenge. Little did she know that not onl would she have run the colony, she'd have to defend it with her life!
First the carcass of a spiderlike alien is discovered. Then a rancher's family is massacred. Finally a creature unlike any ever seen before is brought to the colony medical center, near death. It soon becomes clear thtat not one but two strains of alien life have landed near the settlement of Prosperity Wells. One kind -- beetle black with shells hard as steel -- have been spawned as the prey in a deadly hunt. The other kind -- upright like humans but infinitely stronger and just as smart -- are the Predators. Between them are the human colonists, unarmed and vulnerable. With the entire colony at risk, Machiko Noguchi must choose between death and survival -- and may find her greatest ally in a Predator ready to kill her... |

A great book for those bad days 
I fell in love with Alien Versus Predator when my best friend had brought over the first movie and since then I've collected most every Predator and Alien comic, book, and movie available. This one takes the cake however, next to Deadliest of the Species. Alliances between the two races almost always turn out to be spectacular, just as long as both have a sense of honor and respect for each other. The fighting, the surprise twists, and the pride of a warrior are what attracted me to the Predators in the first place and this book DOES NOT let me down! I would recommend this book to any Alien Versus Predator fan or even those who may have only seen the movie. It is fairly easy to follow along with. The ending will have you begging for another great team-up.

AVP books
I loved this book! This was a great story. Noguchi was the perfect character, not liked by humans and a Predator at heart. I would have liked a bit longer of a book, mostly after she had joined up with the Predators. I currently am working on a AVP book, but this will be much different that any book you will have read... no people! This is where the movies and books go wrong. The human interactions just ruin the stories. We need a book/movie without humans. AvP not AvHvP.

surprisingly good!
I wonder why hollywood didn't adopt this book as part of their film adaptation? This book is certainly a "must-read" for AVP fans.

Great Alien vs Predator book
This was my first book in the series. The book had a good plot, setting, pace, and interesting main and supporting characters.

Epic
OMG! Aliens vs. Predator: Prey is amazing! It is the best in the series, and possibly the best Alien/Predator/AvP book ever!
The story was epic. The characters were great. It was a fantastically fun and absorbing read.
I first picked this book up when I was in 8th grade, the summer before the AvP movie disaster. The cover art compelled me, it was so cool! I read it and did not stop. I started on the bus to school and finished it that night at around 11:30. It was EPIC! I really felt for the characters, escpecially Noguchi, Scott, and the predator. I loved it so much I went out and bought the rest of the series, some aliens books, and a predator novel. I even got AvP2: Gold on PC (Great FPS game, play it)!
Hunter's Planet was good, but not as much. War book was iffy; I didn't know if it was the third book or second. I bought it thinking it was the second, cuz thats how they were listed in the backs of them (you know, where they show other novels in the series?) but took place between the other two, I guess.
This book got me so excited for the movie, which was a total suck-fest and ripped off this book so much. This should've been the move!
