[QUOTE="Huw, post: 3004999, member: 33093"] Here are a few others. Note that all of these feature regular humans as well as the "aliens". Isaac Asimov [I]The Gods Themselves[/I]. A major section of the book features a gaseous alien race with three sexes and very different morality. C.S.Lewis [I]Out of the Silent Planet[/I] and [I]Perelandra[/I]. These books are full of non-human intelligences and some very long moral discussions regarding them. [I]Out of the Silent Planet[/I] features a planet with three intelligent species which have evolved concurrently, each with their own niche in ecology and society. Philip Pullman [I]His Dark Materials[/I] trilogy. This has humans in, but they're very different from this world's humans. The world of [I]Northern Lights/The Golden Compass[/I] features humans with personal demons (which manifest as animals) and intelligent bears. Arthru C. Clarke [I]Rendezvous with Rama[/I]. You never see the aliens, but the whole tone of the book suggests that we wouldn't understand them even if we did meet them (disclaimer: I've only read the first two books. I've no idea if the real aliens appear in the later books.) [/QUOTE]
