About This Collection

It’s one of the most tantalizing unanswered questions about our universe: is anybody else out there? For writers of first contact sci-fi, the answer is a resounding yes, and these titles explore the possibilities of that first fateful meeting of two intelligent life-forms. From benevolent exchanges of knowledge to all-out interplanetary war, this imaginative niche is exactly the type of exploration for which the genre of sci-fi exists.
