The UN warship Magellan is 12 light-years from Earth, exploring a cold eye, a tidally-locked super-earth called Bee.

At least two advanced, intelligent species evolved on the planet, but the crew’s attempts at radio communication result in garbled replies.

No one is waiting for them in orbit.

The crew has to figure out why.

Any misunderstandings could lead to war.

The FIRST CONTACT series is similar to BLACK MIRROR or THE TWILIGHT ZONE in that this collection is based on a common theme rather than common characters. This allows these books to be read in any order. Technically, they’re all first as they all deal with how we might initially respond to contact with aliens, exploring the social, political, religious, and scientific aspects of First Contact. Some of the other highly acclaimed novels in this series include ‘Jury Duty’, ‘Anomaly’, ‘3zekiel’, ‘Losing Mars’, ‘Xenophobia’, ‘Wherever Seeds May Fall’, and ‘Welcome to the Occupied States of America’.
