Are we alone? Are we special and unique? That question has plagued Humanity since the time of our sentience. So far, no one has come a'callin, and SETI has not yet picked up any alien transmissions. The myriad of space probes, landers and rovers which we have sent throughout our Solar System for the past 49 years has not provided even the slightest hint of life existing beyond our own beloved Planet Earth.

More DescriptionAre we alone? Are we special and unique? That question has plagued Humanity since the time of our sentience. So far, no one has come a'callin, and SETI has not yet picked up any alien transmissions. The myriad of space probes, landers and rovers which we have sent throughout our Solar System for the past 49 years has not provided even the slightest hint of life existing beyond our own beloved Planet Earth. From the Luna 9 landing on the Moon in 1966 to the Curiosity Rover on Mars in 2012, each and every one of these missions has increasingly demonstrated that the stuff of life is out there, just not life itself. This makes me wonder if we are truly special and unique....but maybe only to our own Solar System and that maybe life IS out there, but in another Star System or Star Systems. And what if, once we were capable of Inter-Stellar Travel, we came across an alien species that were at a vastly and dramatically lower level of evolution and technology? What if WE were the Aliens? This Hard Science Fiction Quadrilogy examines the possibility that Humans are the ones who have initiated First Contact on another Planet. Would they plunder that world, exploiting the natural resources for their own benefit? Or have they learned as a Species from their conquering and violent ways and invite this new Species into their Inter-Galactic family as equals? What would they do if they could travel to a distant Star System? What should they do if they could travel to a distant Star System? Indeed, what will they do when they can, in fact, travel to a distant Star System?
