Amena Wharry wants to meet aliens. If only there were such a thing.
There are, however, people -- worlds and worlds of people. The universe is full of other Earths, and each one has a civilization unlike any other. Amena and her team of explorers seek to travel to as many as possible, and adventurous science fiction fun ensues.
Earths in Space vol. 1: Where Are the Little Green Men? includes the first two novellas in this episodic series. In "Liberty or Death," the team confronts a group of hi-tech tyrants who pose as gods. Then, in "The End of an Earth," they visit a dying planet...but they find leaving isn't so easy.
The series reflects the learning process. For example, as you grew from a small child to an older child, you probably realized that Big Bird is actually a guy in a costume. (Sorry if I've ruined anything for you.)
So you figure out that there are no kindly giant yellow birds who sing about their ABCs, but at the same time, this whole new intricate world of Muppet puppetry opens up. One bit of magic goes away, and new possibilities emerge.
In this fictional universe, you won't find any Martians, but you don't need Martians when you've got countless worlds worth of humanity to explore.
"See, the thing about exploring new worlds is you can't exactly prepare for every contingency. I like to think it's part of the charm." -- Amena
