What are some famous alien books in fiction?

Well, 'Starship Troopers' by Robert A. Heinlein is a great example. It has the 'Arachnids', which are sort of alien bugs that the humans fight against. Then there's 'The Day of the Triffids' by John Wyndham. The Triffids are plant - like aliens that pose a huge threat to humanity. Also, 'Childhood's End' by Arthur C. Clarke is a classic. It involves an alien race that oversees the evolution of humanity in a rather mysterious way.

Well, 'War of the Worlds' is super famous. It was one of the first to really explore the idea of an alien invasion in a detailed way. People were really scared when it was first published as it seemed so realistic. 'Independence Day' is also well - known. The movie adaptation made it even more popular. And 'The Day of the Triffids' has a cult following. It's not just about the invasion but also about how humans cope with a world turned upside down by these strange plants that seem to be alien in nature.

I think 'Foundation' series by Isaac Asimov also counts. Although not strictly about 'alien species' in the traditional sense, it deals with different galactic civilizations which can be seen as alien to each other. It's a classic of science - fiction literature.

The Daleks from 'Doctor Who' are very famous. They are a race of mutants encased in robotic shells, known for their 'Exterminate!' catchphrase and their extreme xenophobia. Another well - known one is the Klingons from 'Star Trek'. They are a warrior race with a strong sense of honor and a unique culture that includes things like bat'leth combat and bloodwine. The Xenomorphs from the 'Alien' franchise are also quite renowned. These are terrifying, acid - blooded creatures with a complex life cycle.

Well, 'A Fire Upon the Deep' by Vernor Vinge is an excellent alien fiction book. It has a really complex and imaginative universe with various alien species. 'Hyperion' by Dan Simmons is also worth reading. It features a pilgrimage to a mysterious alien planet with different types of beings. And 'Arrival' which is based on the short story 'Story of Your Life' by Ted Chiang. It's about how humans interact with an alien species that lands on Earth in a very unique way.

Sure. 'The War of the Worlds' is a good start. It's easy to understand and very engaging as it tells about the Martian invasion. Another one is 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'. It's full of humor and strange alien concepts that beginners will find interesting.

The Ewoks in 'Star Wars' could be considered a form of alien prey, at least from the perspective of the Empire. They are small, furry creatures living on Endor. The Empire underestimated them, thinking they could easily be dominated. Another example is the Sandworms in 'Dune'. They are huge, dangerous creatures that are both feared and hunted for their valuable by - products, like the Spice that is so important in the Dune universe.

One great alien science fiction book is 'Ender's Game' by Orson Scott Card. It has a very interesting portrayal of an alien race called the Buggers. Another is 'War of the Worlds' by H.G. Wells, which shows a terrifying invasion of Earth by Martians. 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams also features some really strange and funny alien species.

Some good alien invasion fiction books include 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' which is really creepy as it shows aliens taking over people's bodies. 'Annihilation' by Jeff VanderMeer is another interesting one. It's set in a strange, otherworldly area that has been invaded by something not quite normal. These books are great because they often explore human nature in the face of such extreme threats.
