Apothecary

In 1558, during the reign of Bloody Mary, Earth is visited by extraterrestrials who initiate First Contact. Their mission is to gather samples of life on Earth and observe, but not interact with humanity. After witnessing a brutal execution, their patience is tested beyond breaking point... FIRST CONTACT is a series of stand-alone novels that explore humanity's first interaction with extraterrestrial life. This series is similar to BLACK MIRROR or THE TWILIGHT ZONE in that the series is based on a common theme rather than common characters. This allows these books to be read in any order. Technically, they're all first as they all deal with how we might initially respond to contact with aliens, exploring the social, political, religious, and scientific aspects of First Contact.
