The heart of science fiction has always been what we could find out among the stars, or what has already found us on or near Earth.This anthology collects stories that feature a range of close encounters - where, in some cases, we're the aliens - drawn from the first nine volumes of his Visions of the Future anthologies.This is the sixth of an occasional series of themed collections drawn from his annual 'Visions of the Future' anthologies. All of which are available from Amazon worldwide in standard, OpenDyslexic font, and Kindle editions, as well as being available for all devices from Smashwords. Julian's first loves were science fantasy and magic; the blending of ancient and futuristic. This led him to a love of speculative fiction, initially as a reader, then as a reader and writer.He started writing at school, extended into writing role-playing game scenarios, and thence into bardic storytelling. In 2011 he published his first books, in 2012 he released more (along with the smallest complete role-playing system in the world).With over 30 books published in digital and physical formats, he has no intention of stopping this writing lark anytime soon, and he'd be delighted if you'd care to join him for a book or two. Bringing you stories of intrigue, action, love, and adventure from near and far.Every year I publish a flash and short fiction anthology. With over a decade of output, some of the earlier volumes are now out of print, and there are hundreds of stories to choose from.To that end, I occasionally put together collections of related stories that may save you time browsing tales that don't interest you
