Alien contact

Halpern, Marty, 1950- (Added Author).

Summary: Are we alone? From War of the worlds to Invasion of the body snatchers, ET to Close encounters, creators of science fiction have always eagerly speculated on just how the story of alien contact would play out. Editor Marty Halpern has gathered together some of the best stories of the last 30 years, weaving a tapestry that covers a broad range of scenarios from the insidious, to the violent, to the transcendent.
