Worst Contact

When the first contact between humans and aliens from another planet happens, will they say “Take me to your leader” or “Surrender, puny primitive bipeds”?
Ever since H.G. Wells wrote The War of the Worlds, science fiction writers have speculated on what the first contact might be like. With stories by such science fiction masters as Poul Anderson, David Drake, William Tenn, Sarah A. Hoyt, Tony Daniel, and more, this is a collection filled with narratives from attacking invaders to wise and benevolent visitors who are ready to solve all our problems for us, from horror stories to hilarious satire, with all the stops in between, including plenty of tales in which the aliens are the ones who wish they’d stayed at home and never come across Earth and its inhabitants.
