- Roswell: First Contact
- Negotiations
- The Good, The Bad, and The Undecided

What Makes This Series Unique?
A multi-POV sci-fi experience
Rather than following one main character, ESA switches perspectives across protagonists — each carrying their own piece of the truth.
Where one story ends, another jumps back in time to show what really happened from someone else’s point of view.
It’s like watching a single event from multiple cameras.
A clean, character-driven science-fantasy
No profanity. No gore. No graphic violence. Just heart, hope, tension, mystery, and worldbuilding.
Perfect for YA, MG, adults, classrooms, and sci-fi readers of all ages
Whether you’re reading casually or studying perspective, ethics, or first-contact scenarios, this collection delivers an inspiring and uplifting sci-fi adventure. We also have a teacher’s guide.
