Talking with Strangers
(2026)(The third book in the Universes at War series)
An anthology of stories edited by Chris Kennedy
Your mother always told you never to talk to strangers.
That’s good advice—until the strangers are aliens.
When humanity finally encounters intelligent life beyond Earth, there are only two possible outcomes: first contact... or first strike.
Will diplomacy bridge the stars, or will survival depend on superior firepower? Every new species is a gamble, and by the time you discover whether they're friend or foe, it's already too late to turn back.
Talking with Strangers brings together an all-star lineup of science fiction authors to explore both sides of that eternal question. From hopeful first encounters to desperate battles for humanity's future, these stories deliver unforgettable characters, impossible choices, and edge-of-your-seat action.
Featuring stories by Craig Martelle, Fred Hughes, Blaine L. Pardoe, and many more outstanding voices in science fiction, this anthology offers adventure, suspense, and wonder in equal measure.
So grab your universal translator... and keep your weapon close.
Because when the strangers come calling, you'll only get one chance to decide whether to say hello... or open fire.
With stories by:
Craig Martelle
Fred Hughes
Blaine L. Pardoe
Kevin Ikenberry
Mark Wandrey
James S. Aaron
L.L. Richman
