Synopsis
When the first contact between humans and aliens from another planethappens, will they say, "Take me to your leader," or is"Surrender, puny primitive bipeds" more likely? Or maybe,"Hello there, I'm selling the latest edition of the GalacticEncyclopedia, and no planet should be without a set," might be the firstwords from the alien visitor., STORIES OF ALIEN CONTACT GONE WRONG. Will it be, Greeting, fellow Sentients or, Nice Planet--we'll take it"? These stories from SF greats answer the question, Are we alone in the universe? with a resounding, No, but we wish we were! When the first contact between humans and aliens from another planet happens, will they say, "Take me to your leader," or is "Surrender, puny primitive bipeds" more likely? Or maybe, "Hello there, I'm selling the latest edition of the Galactic Encyclopedia , and no planet should be without a set," might be the first words from the alien visitor. Ever since H.G. Wells wrote The War of the Worlds , science fiction writers have speculated on what the first contact might be like. From attacking invaders to wise and benevolent visitors who are ready to solve all our problems for us, from horror stories to hilarious satire, with all the stops in between, including plenty of tales in which the aliens are the ones who wish they'd stayed at home and never come across Earth and its inhabitants. With stories by such science fiction masters as Poul Anderson, David Drake, William Tenn, Sarah A. Hoyt, Tony Daniel, and more, this is a collection filled with chills, thrills, and laughter, all reporting on what happens when First Contact turns into Worst Contact . Praise for anthologies edited by Hank Davis: A Cosmic Christmas 2 You: "This creative and sprightly Christmas science fiction anthology spins in some surprising directions . . . A satisfying read for cold winter evenings, this anthology is a great stocking stuffer for SF fans."-- Publishers Weekly In Space No One Can Hear You Scream: "From Arthur C. Clarke's interplanetary riff on the lonely night's walk (A Walk in the Dark) to George R.R. Martin's award-winning classic of irresponsible alien pet ownership (Sandkings), the 13 tales in this collection blend sf with horror to demonstrate the resiliency of both genres. VERDICT: Including selections by Clark Ashton Smith, Robert Sheckley, Elizabeth Bear, Sarah Monette, and other stars, this seasonal collection offers strong tales by the genre's best storytellers." -- Library Journal, STORIES OF ALIEN CONTACT GONE WRONG.

- m***m (2282)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoI’m thrilled with my recent purchase . The website was user-friendly, and the product descriptions were accurate. Customer service was prompt and helpful, answering all my questions. My order arrived quickly, well-packaged, and the product exceeded my expectations in quality.

- 2***4 (132)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoI got the Blu ray of STRANDED, a sci Fi movie starring Christian slater and I got it at a really great price from estocks_usa. I'm a bit surprised on how fast they got it to me because of the 4th of July weekend window I'd ordered it in, but it got to me earlier than listed and well wrapped up. It got to me in brand new looking shape. Good seller, fast shipping and they sent me what they advertised.
- _***p (198)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoHonestly a good seller! I purchased a listing without a photo but the title eluded that the CD was a different title than I anticipated. They told me if it wasn’t what they thought because they couldn’t take a photo of it they’d issue a refund and they did. I owned the CD they sent already. I appreciated their honesty and I do want to give them more business so I’m going to buy some more CDs with photos this time! Quick response quick shipping packaged safe and great value.
