Roswell

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.
