Whether or not we are alone in the universe, if there really could be “little green men” on Mars and what might happen if we ever made contact with extraterrestrial beings are questions thet have intrigued humankind for centuries.

In this, the first major illustrated book to comprehensively chart our fascination with the possibility of life beyond Earth, award-winning author and illustrator Ron Miller explores – from the perspectives of both science and popular culture – everything from the vast cult around “flying saucers”, to supposed alien abductions, to what visitors from other planets might look like if they ever did arrive.

Featuring more than 240 photographs and artworks, many of them rare or previously unpublished, this richly illustrated compendium really is the ultimate guide to all things “alien”.
