Close Encounters: Human & Alien Perspectives Bundle

Close Encounters: Human & Alien Perspectives Bundle

This thought-provoking collection of three science fiction masterworks explores one of the genre's most profound themes: the complex, transformative, and often bewildering nature of a true close encounter. The Close Encounters: Human & Alien Perspectives Bundle delves into the cultural clashes and philosophical questions that arise when humanity meets the "other." In these award-winning novels, you'll witness a disgraced colonial administrator seeking redemption from the elephantine aliens he once ruled, a world thrown into panic by inscrutable visitors who defy all attempts at communication, and the epic, millennia-spanning tale of humanity's twilight as intelligent dogs inherit the Earth. This bundle features three complete, standalone classics: Robert Silverberg's Downward to the Earth and Clifford D. Simak's The Visitors and his legendary novel, City.
