In the early 21st Century, an extraterrestrial court awarded the Corporation of Nocti’if with the right to make first contact with humanity. Mankind’s nature was tested, but by the narrowest of margins, our race proved that it was capable of rehabilitation, thus earning a place in the intergalactic community. However, tensions following first contact remained high, and not all disclosures from the aliens were appropriate at the time.

Fifty years later, with diplomatic relations finally normalized, CON and the Nocti’ifii have returned to Earth to share their own tale of first contact. Now comes an English adaptation of their most controversial and celebrated media, a memoir by Liiku u’Siris.

For decades there have been whispers of an ancient war… What exactly happened to the Nocti’ifii? And why is Liiku’s memoir still relevant more than 4.5 billion years after its original publication?

Shadow and the Apocrypha of First Contact is Book 2 and the first “white cover” in the CON of First Contact series. Introduces the Srraqua, Zlmikariynn, Ooa-Faneemah, and Gomaek civilizations.
