A trilogy of novels adapting the Creator/DarkHorseComics [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Aliens]] comics ''Book One'' (or ''Outbreak''), ''Book Two'' (or ''Nightmare Asylum''), and ''Earthwar'' (or ''The Female War''). The novels greatly expand on the events from those comics, as well as performing a minor {{Retcon}}. The original comics had followed Hicks, Newt, and eventually Ripley in a new Alien-related adventure, but had the misfortune to be published between ''Film/{{Aliens}}'' and ''Film/Alien3''. The novels change the comics characters to SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitutes Wilks (Hicks), Billie (Newt), and a highly-sophisticated android who only ''thinks'' she's Ellen Ripley. The novels involve both the Company and government attempting to secure Alien specimens for their own uses, these efforts [[GoneHorriblyRight going horribly right]], a mission to the Aliens' home planet (not really), an Alien-occupied Earth, a visit to a military outpost with an insane general breeding the Aliens as his personal footsoldiers, and finally a visit to the Aliens' ''real'' homeworld in a last-ditch effort to save Earth. And lots of dead humans, Aliens, and androids along the way.

Per TRS, this was renamed to Sex Starts Story Stops


* CoitusEnsues: Billie and Mitch's relationship proceeds ''very'' rapidly. Granted, she's an eighteen-year-old girl and he's an android with no prior romantic or sexual relationships, but it's still pretty damn fast.
