If ET Knocked On Your Door…

what would you do? Scream? Run? Invite him in?

It’s human nature to be attracted to our own kind and to be wary of any creature that’s distinctly different from us, an instinct that contributed to our survival as a species for thousands of years. We flinch from a scorpion or a tiger—not so much from a hairy ape because he appears somewhat like us.

What if the extraterrestrial at your door could cure a disease that you or someone close is struggling to survive? How would you feel then about inviting that creature into your home?

What if close association with this visitor could extend your life by hundreds of years? Could you arrest your fear long enough to become friends?

This certainly isn’t a new theme among science fiction stories, but it endures because there are so many angles it can take.

Emissary, a novel slated for December 2, 2014 release, takes a fresh view of it—among other engaging subplots. It’s ready now for

And if you recall a science fiction story from the late 50s-70s, in which a dog-size cockroach-like creature appears on Earth, and the person finding it instantly kills it before realizing that it’s both sentient and friendly, would you let me know the title. Trying to remember is driving me nuts.
