Author Description

For more than two hundred years mankind had been exploring the cosmos, searching in vain for another intelligent life form. Primitive and basic life had been discovered but nothing more advanced than bacteria and small invertebrates. The crew of Selenius Two now approached a small planet that they would later name Alturis. There they would discover something that would change the destinies of themselves, their species and Alturis itself. The Lords of Alturis is the story of the crew of Selenius Two, what they discovered, what they learned about their discovery and themselves. It is a story of what the first possible contact with another life form may possibly be like. It is the story of the response of themselves, their superiors and another race to the first discovery of mankind of another life form that in some ways is superior to man and in other ways inferior.
