Set in the near future, 2020, Encounter with the Trigorian Extraterrestrials portrays a visit by aliens from a planet they call Trigor in a solar system formed by a star astronomers on Earth know as Beta Ursae Majoris as well as Merak, the name given the star by Arab astronomers in the 19th century. The Trigorians have arrived via matter transportation from almost 80 light years away and initially are parked in orbit behind Jupiter on their starship, the Zanus Zarriz. They reach out initially not to world leaders but to six scientists, including a famous Scottish astronomer, Earl McCabe. After a week’s discussion with the scientists, the British Prime Minister, Robert Bishop, is chosen as the spokesperson and announces the Trigorian presence to the world. The beings from Merak are very different from humans. They have no visual or auditory capabilities, relying instead on telepathic communication and touch. Physically, the Trigorians resemble amoebas or simple manatees but have existed for many thousands of years and have evolved to have a sophisticated, highly civilized existence with technological capabilities far surpassing anything on Earth. Another major distinction between the Trigorians and humans is that these beings feature three genders. Thus, there is no male and female as such; a Trigorian may be a Ti, To or Tu. Each gender has a distinctive physiology and differs as well on more subtle dimensions. Procreation among the Trigorians occurs as part of an elaborate ritual called a gerosis. . A Council of Elders, drawn from an extended ruling family that has been in power for more than 10,000 years, governs the entire planet. The Trigorians come with peaceful intentions although wary of the violent nature of life on Earth and the likelihood that people on Earth will expect hostile behavior from any visit by aliens. The visit also threatens to exacerbate tensions on Earth, fueled by Trigorian expectations based on a previous visit to the Solar System in the mid-19th century by an unmanned probe. The information from the probe seems to have resulted in a level of comfort with the UK rather than the US, China, Japan or Russia. Tension also arises for religious reasons. The Trigorians have no apparent religious beliefs. This alone creates suspicion on Earth and it also helps to explain the Trigorians woeful underestimate of the importance of religion on Earth and its role in strife in the past and present. The choice of a former colonial power as the “chosen” nation also is irritating in many quarters of the planet. Conflict on Earth breaks out, stimulated by the alien’s presence and perpetrated by a strange alliance of terrorist groups, including Al Qaeda’ which must be quelled before actual contact between the species can occur. The story concludes with a decision to leave a Trigorian delegation on Earth and the star ship departs with several humans on board for the return voyage to Trigor. A sequel novel will explore the outcomes of these decisions.

Since I rarely read in the Sci-Fi genre, I was surprised how much I enjoyed this novel. Though sometimes I got a little lost in the heady world of science, the many Star Trek references increased my comfort level and kept me grounded. And who hasn't gazed at the sky filled with twinkling stars and wondered if there could possibly be other sentient beings out there and if so, what would they look like, what would their society and culture be like and what would happen if we could meet them. Dr. DeLong's captivating story of the Trigorians, a civilization so technilogically advanced that they are able to travel to earth from a planet nearly 80 light years away, suggests what might happen, especially if the aliens are friendly and come with peaceful intentions. The idea of benevolent aliens is, in itself, a rather unique idea.I loved many things about this book, among them the author's obvious love and reverence for his story and especially his characters, both earthlings and Trigorians. The novel is intricately developed, with impressive attention to detail. Dr. DeLong's knowledge of scientific concepts is extensive and he fuses facts with imagination to create an engaging and quite believable story. He uses his academic background in politics and government to explore the ways in which our world leaders would need to cooperate if we were ever in a position to welcome visitors from outer space.
Dr. DeLong must write a sequel. I felt very sad to have to say good-bye to both the characters and to the idea of visitors from outer space becoming part of our world. I hate to think that I will never meet my Trigorian friends again!

Encounter with the Trigorian Extraterrestrials Dr Dennis R DeLong 9781467916646 Books Reviews
The grammar is bizarre. Not sure what he is doing with it
SciFi uses various means if creating different-ness. This one is too strange for me
Interesting story-line, just distracting style
What a wonderful story about an event that we might all be alive to see one day. The author does a fantastic job of showing us what we as many countries and cultures (usually at unrest) would have to do if our planet were to meet with beings from a far away place in another galaxy- on their terms of peace and harmony without harm to them or their planet. It makes the reader wonder if we used the same respect and understanding demanded by the extraterrestrials, if we wouldn't achieve our own world peace on earth. The suspense and awe experienced throughout the book made it impossible for me to put down. The characters became very real and endearing, and I was left thinking about what I had read for days and weeks afterwards. I do hope the author will write a sequel to this book. This is a must read. It is a science fiction account so realistic in its portrayal, that the reader is truly left wondering if such an encounter hasn't already happened -
