List of Alien vs. Predator novels

This trilogy, dubbed The Machiko Noguchi Saga after the main character of the series, consists of Prey, Hunter’s Planet, and War.

The trilogy is centered on Machiko Noguchi, a human woman of Japanese descent who lived and hunted with members of the Predator species.

After the colony of Ryushi was destroyed, Machiko desired a life of hunting and honour, connecting with and coming to be seen as an honorary member of the Predator species, formally known as Da'dtou-di ("small knife"), "The Human Predator", while hunting the xenomorph species across the galaxy, and coming into conflict with "Shorty", a ruthless hunter who views her with contempt.

A clan of Predators (known as "Yautja" in this series) 'seeds' the planet Ryushi with a clutch of Alien Eggs, intending to hunt the adult "Drone" stage of the "Xenomorphs".

Chaos ruins the carefully planned hunt when Predator and Alien encounter Ryushi's human colonists, led by reluctant corporate executive Machiko Noguchi.
