HADLEY’S HOPE & BACKSTORIES

Before the nightmare, there was a town. Explore Hadley’s Hope through logs, concept art, and Special Edition material—Newt’s parents’ fateful discovery, that kid on the big-wheel trike, and the colony’s routines before everything changed. We also trace the camaraderie and backstories that make the Marines feel real—especially the Vasquez/Drake bond.

Another special call out to Alien Theory for their time, energy and efforts in making many of these videos. I love thier work and encourage you to visit thier YouTube channel to check out thier enormous catalog of videos!

Hadley’s Hope is more than a location — it’s the quiet tragedy at the center of Aliens. These books dive into character backstories, alternate scenarios, and expanded narratives that explore the people, choices, and consequences surrounding the colony, the Colonial Marines, and the events that unfolded before and beyond the film.
