Synopses
The Alien Effect – Raised on the Jovian moon Varok, the young woman Shawne longs to return to Earth and help her devastated home planet build a new civilization—one that can thrive for millennia. But when she and her “mini alien invasion” set up a school in California, they face unexpected lessons in love and humanity, unaware of the long-term consequences of their collision with life on Earth.
The View Beyond Earth – How do twenty-first century humans react, confronted with comparable intelligence residing in "their own" solar system? Microbiologist Tandra Grey finds new hope for an ailing Earth and her own future when she makes first contact with alien neighbors too intelligent, too nosy, and too near to ignore. Book I in The Archives of Varok, originally released as A Place Beyond Man (Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1975).
