Because someone asked about books with friendly aliens

[G.R.]

I wasn't gonna, then I was, then I wasn't, now I am.

Anyway, there's a discussion post going around asking about books with friendly aliens in them and I wanted to put a shout out on my novel, Eden M51. Technically, the aliens are the indigenous species and we're the aliens but the context still fits.



The story is an adventure story but also a metaphysical one in that it questions Man's purpose in the universe. I want to be clear and up front about that because there are so many sub-genres within science fiction. Here is a shortened version of the book blurb:

A U.S. interstellar probe, launched decades earlier, unexpectedly transmits a burst of tantalizing figures on a remote alien world in the M51 galaxy, yielding the first promising data scientists have seen in years. In response, an international team of experts is hastily assembled to investigate the prospective planet over thirty million light years away. Each with their own set of hopes and agendas, what they discover upon arrival is more than any of them imagined – something that forces them to confront the shadows of their past and to reevaluate their choices for Man’s future.

Please feel free to message me and let me know if you decide to give it a try. Thanks for your time.
