In "Colonization: Second Contact" by Harry Turtledove, the first contact between humanity and the aliens is in the form of a scout ship that crashes into orbit. As luck would have it, the spaceship's pilot is not only alive, but has all of the technology needed to communicate with Earth - and vice versa. Following this event, a second contact takes place, which leads to further colonization efforts when it becomes clear that the aliens are not friendly.
In the distant past of our planet, humans arrived and began to colonize. Colonization: Second Contact is Harry Turtledove's "second contact" science fiction novel about how humanity must deal with this new species that has come knocking on their door.
The last thing the world needs is more aliens messing around in human affairs. They don't care about our problems, and they aren't likely to have any solutions. So if one of them does find himself on Earth, it's best to make sure that he knows not to cause trouble. However, once again humans have screwed up. Their first contact with one alien turns out to be a second alien, who decides that the people of Earth are the perfect hosts for his people. And now they're back...
A long time ago, people on Earth had discovered alien life. These aliens were called the Ekhat, a herbivore species with an iron claw-like hand for a mouth and teeth that could cut through any metal. Humans were so terrified of the Ekhat that they created a weaponized virus to destroy them. When it failed, humans decided it was time to let these aliens colonize Earth.
