Silly fun

I felt particularly nostalgic for sci-fi books from my childhood. This title is along the lines of the Terran Trade Authority Spacewreck: Ghost Ships and Derelicts in Space and the Galactic Encounters series. Aliens In Space: An Illustrated Guide to the Inhabited Galaxy My favorite aliens in this book is the flying insect that injects a growth harmone into it's victims that causes them to explode. The insect then feeds on the steaming remains. That's the types of aliens you will meet in this book. The illustrations are fairly crude, but that is part of the charm.

Like a Hitch-hikers guide of dangerous space aliens

There seemed to be a few books of this genre around the late 1970's early 1980's, most notably the Terran Trade Authority Books (Spacecraft 2000-2100 AD, Great Space Battles, Starliners, Spacewreck). They were great quality hardcover space art books that tried to give a small sci fi background story along with it. Sometimes some of the writing can be interesting and other times just so so. I really think what is of value here is the great sci fi art in these books which i haven't seen reproduced anywhere else. Galactic Aliens is of course taking the angle of displaying the most dangerous aliens out there. It's like a hitch hikers guide of what aliens to avoid and which ones we have no defense against. We humans even have our own page! I've tried uploading a few pages from the book to give you an idea of the format of the book. Each alien (I count 43) has 2 pages devoted to it, great artwork displaying it in a pretty cool format.

A wonderful book for sci-fi lovers!!!

When I bought this book eons ago, I had no idea just how much USE I would get out of it. Playfully written with hit-or-miss illustrations, GA helped me gamemaster dozens of Star Wars Role-Playing Games. Check out fan.starwars.com/mich to see how this one book has generated more fanciful sci-fi tales than you could possibly imagine!

This book is awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book has all the information you would ever want to know about aliens. the pictures are great to. I keep on checking it out at my school library.
