Contact

We may no longer be alone in the universe—perhaps we never have been. The ultimate possibility—that life exists beyond earth—is no longer a fantasy but the subject of scientific experimentation. Humans and extraterrestrial beings may be making CONTACT today—certainly tomorrow.
The first, explosive, grappling instant of encounter between Man and Alien is the subject of this extraordinary journey of man's imagination into the unknown, by the masters of Science Fiction.
