One of the best first-contact books ever!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This is one of the finest books I've ever read. From the premise to the wrap-up, their's very little to complain about, except a small amount of overly pro-Americanisms. If you can find it, buy it!
This ain't no Star Trek spinoff
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Humanity has just begun building its first intersteller spacecraft when it makes a startling discovery-it is not alone! Well now, the human folk realize that they have no planets to colonize, as other more ambisious alien races have taken 'em all. The humans want a planet- bad. So they trade and haggle with they alien race (getting a couple of hyperdrive spaceships in gthe process) and they get themselves a planet. All righty, so everybody is happy. Except for on thing...this planet does not act normally! And the human folk have found great metal substances on this planet-which they are selling to everybody in the sector for lots of cash. Whoo! And to top it off, now some aliens want to exterminate the human race and keep the metal for themselves. Wanna know the rest??? Read the book.
