"Thrill of the Hunt"
In the farthest reaches of space, a creature
terrified us. Acid blood. Armored skin. Razor-sharp teeth. No mercy. In
the depths of a rain forest, another creature hunted us. Perfect
camouflage. Fearsome weapons. Brutal methods. No conscience. In 2004,
these monsters clashed on Earth in the greatest battle the universe has
ever known. But far in the future, long after a technological catastrophe
that started a second Dark Age, all memory of these two species has been
forgotten. And when Mankind again reaches for the stars, we will discover
that, truly, those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat
it. Once again, Man is caught in the middle of a deadly struggle.

"Civilized Beasts"
The new world was an unspoiled frontier perfect for
colonization, a virtual paradise of boundless beauty and limitless
resources, untouched by human hands...but not untouched, as the
unsuspecting colonists soon discovered. Now marooned on a planet infested
with the deadliest Alien species ever encountered, the colonists learn
firsthand the Law of the Jungle: adapt or become extinct. And a little
helping hand couldn't hurt, inexplicably provided by the selfsame
Predators who destroyed the colonists' ship and made them prisoners in
paradise. Are these extraterrestrial hunters actually showing sympathy for
the humans' plight, or do they have something even more monstrous in mind?
Alien
vs Predator: Civilized Beasts
is the sequel to Thrill of the Hunt, and will be
