I went on an Alien novel reading kick and can recommend a few.

My favourites are Alien phalanx, Alien Cold Forge, and Aliens Into Charybdis. The novelizations are so-so, they capture the feel of the movies well, but I feel you might as well watch the movie at that point.

The other novels can be hit or miss, but they scratch the itch.

I second Cold Forge—really captured the alien universe quite nicely. I didn’t get much from Into The Charybdis though.
