Explore the universe… with the 10th Volume of The Expanding Universe, a

“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the universe, or we are
not. Both are equally terrifying.” Arthur C Clarke penned those words,
and they stand true to this day. Do we want to be alone? Leave it to
science fiction authors to address that question in equal measure.
Aliens can be peaceful or not. Who will emerge as the superior strain of
intelligence? Humanity may be new to the game, but they aren’t new to
conflict.
Fantastic races vying for dominance. A microcosm of the greater good.
Battles fought for higher ideals. Battles fought just to survive.
War doesn’t care about human or alien. The soldiers fight, and they
fight hard, as if their lives depend on it.
Because they do.
