Top 10 underappreciated first-contact novels...HFY!

Some first-contact novels get all the love. But these books with aliens...not so much.

I've included sci-fi stories set in the past, present, and future. Several deal with unexpected meetings, but others offer a look at well-planned first-contact scenarios. A couple feature aliens communicating with humans in unique ways while a few show the awesome power these fictional beings may have.

I can't promise flying saucers, little green men, or bad experiences with probing. However, a bunch of these underappreciated first-contact novels show humanity coming through in the clutch. HFY!
