This space race is halted, however, when spaceships position themselves precisely above Earth’s principal cities.

5. Ythrians
In a prelude to the main story, a trade expedition of van Rijn’s employees barely escapes from a planet after an attack by the ‘primitive’ natives, who have been poorly treated by other traders only out to make money. In the story proper, chemists of the Polesotechnic League are working to produce elements that theoretically exist on the ‘island of stability’ of the periodic table; stable elements that are surrounded by short-lived unstable ones. Progress is nil, when an organization appears, offering commercial quantities of ‘supermetals’ for sale.
The prices are high but economic and the source of supply is not revealed. The metals bring about a revolution in engineering, but attempts to duplicate the metals or find the source of the metals are fruitless. Although rich enough to retire and reluctant to leave his home comforts for the rigors of space travel, Nicholas van Rijn takes up the challenge and charters Dewfall, a specially and expensively equipped space ship from, and crewed by, Ythrians, an intelligent sky-dwelling species. He takes with him his favorite granddaughter, Coya Conyon, an astrophysicist. -Wikipedia.org
4. Hroshii
The Star Beast is a 1954 science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein about a high school senior who discovers that his late father’s extraterrestrial pet is more than it appears to be. The novel, somewhat abridged, was originally serialised in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction (May, June, July 1954) as “Star Lummox” and then published in hardcover as part of Scribner’s series of Heinlein juveniles.
An ancestor of John Thomas Stuart XI brought the alien, long-lived Lummox home from an interstellar voyage. The articulate, sentient pet he inherited has gradually grown from the size of a collie pup to a ridable behemoth—especially after consuming a used car. The child-like Lummox is perceived to be a neighborhood nuisance and, upon leaving the Stuart property one day, causes substantial property damage across the city of Westville. John’s mother wants him to get rid of it, and a court orders it destroyed. -Wikipedia.org

Calculating God is a 2000 science fiction novel by Robert J. Sawyer. It takes place in the present day and describes the arrival on Earth of sentient aliens. The bulk of the novel covers the many discussions and arguments on this topic, as well as about the nature of belief, religion, and science. Calculating God received nominations for both the Hugo and John W. Campbell Memorial Awards in 2001. Thomas Jericho, a paleontologist working at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, makes the first human-to-alien contact when a spider-like alien arrives on Earth to investigate Earth’s evolutionary history.
The alien, Hollus, and her crewmembers have come to Earth to gain access to the museum’s large collection of fossils, and to study accumulated human knowledge in order to gather evidence of the existence of God. It seems that Earth and Hollus’ home planet, and the home planet of another alien species traveling with Hollus, all experienced the same five cataclysmic events at roughly the same time. Hollus believes that the universe was created by a god, to provide a place where life could develop and evolve. Thomas Jericho is an atheist who provides a balance to the philosophical discussion regarding the existence of gods. -Wikipedia.org
2. Chtorrans
The War Against the Chtorr is a series of novels written by David Gerrold. The Chtorr story is currently incomplete and is intended to be continued beyond its present cliffhanger ending. There is no sign of sentient aliens, but humans presume the invasion to be deliberate, either “seeded” from space or brought by undetected spacecraft. Many of the Chtorran organisms (see below) exhibit behaviors that are quasi-sentient (building structures, creating and using tools, farming/herding, setting traps, singing), yet the central question of whether they are doing so out of sentience or collective and programmed behavior is unanswered.
With each new layer of organisms, a bit more hierarchy to the Chtorran “societal” structure is revealed, allowing the possibility that all these organisms will transform the Earth in support of some worse, higher form of Chtorran life. The presumed goal of these off-stage aliens appears to be nothing less than the complete replacement of Earth’s entire ecology and the resultant extinction of all native life, at which time they can claim the planet without a single shot needing to be fired. Another possibility is that collectively the Chtorr are the alien, the invasion has begun and gained major footholds, and humanity has yet to figure out who the true enemy is (let alone how to successfully fight it). -Wikipedia.org
1. Yilane
West of Eden is a 1984 science fiction novel by American writer Harry Harrison. In the Earth that exists in this novel, the earth was not struck by an asteroid 65 million years before the present. Consequently, the mass extinction level event which wiped-out most reptiloids never happened, leaving the way clear for an intelligent species to eventually evolve from the mosasaur, a species of reptile related to the modern monitor lizards. This relationship would mean that the intelligent species are not dinosaurs but lizard-people.
The lizard-people are known as the Yilané, and are the dominant lifeform on most of the planet. However, during the evolutionary process, the species became non-viable on the two American continents, leaving them free of Yilané for millions of years and opening an ecological niche for a top-predator. A human-like species, the Tanu, evolved to fill the niche in North America, but are only found on the two continents. By the time the novel begins, the humanoids have reached a late stone age level of technology and culture, with a number of societies having developed farming skills. -Wikipedia.org
