Roswell: First Contact

(Part 1 of From Roswell to Area 51 — each story also stands alone in the Earth's Secret Alliance universe.)

In 1947, aliens didn't invade. They asked for help.

When Private Malcolm Dow is sent to investigate a "weather balloon" crash near Roswell, he finds something far stranger—peaceful aliens begging Earth for protection. The Zalmen are refugees, not enemies. But with Cold War fear rising, secrecy might be the only way to save both their worlds.

This thoughtful, character-driven novella blends historical fiction, first contact sci-fi, and social themes, introducing a universe where diplomacy matters more than firepower.

•Perfect for fans of Arrival, Ender's Game, and clean, diverse science fiction.
•Start the Earth's Secret Alliance series here—for readers age 13 and up.

Rated PG-13 for thematic elements and mild wartime tension.
