@ScottSoCal thanks for the follow. Read your bio and just stumbled on this photo of one of my favorite books by John Scalzi.
Love that book - re-read it just a few weeks ago.
@ScottSoCal another book series that really understands the media, PR and behind the scenes machinations for big alien questions is the Not Alone series by Craig Falconer.

I'm sure I've read the first one - yes, just checked, and it's on my Kindle. I didn't know it was a series. I'll have to look at the rest of them.
