InterstellarNet: Origins
When the First Call from the Stars Comes, Do We Even Dare to Answer?
Life changes for everyone in general—and for physicist Dean Matthews in particular—when astronomers detect a radio signal from a nearby star. First Contact forces humanity to face hard questions, and do it fast. Every answer spawns new questions. Every solution sets in motion a new and more daunting crisis to challenge Dean, his family—and an expanding number of interstellar civilizations—for generations to come.
“One of the most original, believable, thoroughly thought-out, and utterly fascinating visions ever of what interstellar contact might really be like.”
—Dr. Stanley Schmidt, Editor, Analog Magazine

InterstellarNet: New Order
Good fences, said the poet, make good neighbors …
and interstellar distances made very good fences.
Or so we thought .…
Earth and its interstellar neighbors have been in radio contact for a century and a half. A vigorous commerce in intellectual property has accelerated technical progress for all the species involved. Ideas, riding on radio waves, routinely cross interstellar space—almost like neighbors chatting over the interstellar back fence. But there is a way over, or under, or around, almost any fence. Sooner or later, when we least expect it, the neighbors, friendly or otherwise, are going to pay a call.... InterstellarNet: New Order chronicles the startling events of Second Contact, upfront and personal, as humanity discovers that meeting aliens face to face is very different—and a lot more dangerous—than sending and receiving messages.

Moonstruck
Will our first contact with aliens be the dawn of a new tomorrow—or the last act in human history?
The moon has suddenly acquired its own satellite: a two-mile-across starship that represents a hitherto unsuspected Galactic Commonwealth.
The F’thk, a vaguely centaur-like member species for whom Earth’s ecology is hospitable, have been sent to evaluate humanity for prospective membership. The F’thk are overtly friendly but very private—“Information is a trade good” could almost be their mantra. The Galactics’ arrival may signify the start of a glorious new era, or it may presage the cataclysmic end of human civilization. Which outcome do the aliens really desire ... and what will they do if humanity refuses to play its assigned role?

Probe
What if First Contact doesn’t come the way we expect it?
Bob Hanson, the chief scientist of a major aerospace corporation, has made an incredible discovery: a wrecked alien spacecraft adrift in the Asteroid Belt. The military enthusiastically embraces an investigation of the extraterrestrials, remarkably indifferent to the inconsistencies that begin to appear. But Hanson keeps digging … and finds much more than he had ever bargained for. Are aliens manipulating events on Earth? Did unscrupulous corporate executives invent the aliens in search of giga-buck government contracts? Has the Pentagon fabricated an alien menace for its own purposes? Or is the truth something really unimaginable?

Frontiers of Space, Time, and Thought
This volume brings together more than a dozen of Edward M. Lerner’s most engaging short stories to take the reader on a grand tour of Big Ideas: from virtual reality to artificial intelligence to homicidal time-traveling grandchildren to troubled aliens wondering if they are alone. But truth can be stranger than fiction—and Lerner’s fact articles have pride of place in this collection, posing some Really Big Questions. How can we protect Earth from asteroids? What will commercialized spaceflight be like in the post-shuttle era? What will privacy (or the lack thereof) mean in the Internet age? Lerner lays out the why, where, and (perhaps the) how of faster-than-light travel, and the challenges of communicating with alien species. Expanded and updated with the latest information, and with full references and links to further reading, these essays will take you to and beyond the Frontiers of Space, Time, and Thought.

A Time Foreclosed
Where are all the time travelers?
If it is possible to move between past and future, shouldn’t someone from somewhen in all the infinite reaches of the future have visited by now? The good news is, there are answers to those questions. But then, there’s the bad news....What if a man could go forward in time to learn about the future—and then backwards in time to correct a dreadful mistake? But what if going back in time was, in and of itself, the most terrible mistake possible?Could things really be that bad? A life’s journey that started off bending—and breaking—a few real estate laws couldn’t really wind up ending life as we know it? That would have to be impossible. Or would it? Previously published as “Time Out,” this mind-bending story will keep readers guessing until the final page. Includes the bonus story “Grandpa?”—one of Edward M. Lerner’s most popular tales.
