First Contact Is Bad For You is a novel by Gabe Kagan published in 2011, where an unfortunate alien species is on the receiving end of humanity's first contact. Self-explanatory, right?In 2048, humanity accidentally discovers a wormhole in orbit around earth leading to an alien planet. Two citizens, Bob Sakamoto and Ted Decker go through before any government or corporate spaceflight agency can organize a mission. In the ensuing months, Earth scrambles to take advantage of the planet (which is named Groenheid), ultimately destabilizing the native societies. When the wormhole used for travel seals up, things stretch to the breaking point; Bob and Decker find themselves trapped inside a bloody regional war.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Incidentally, one of the selling points is that Decker is a talking bear.As of December 2013, the sequel (Second Contact Is Worse) has been written and is awaiting publication. | |

Frozen Face: Sega Nintendo Johnson (whom Bob and Decker hire for the Groenheid mission) never stops smiling, and claims to always be happy. However, he almost stops for a moment, when the Earth-Groenheid wormhole seals up. | |

Benevolent Precursors: Not discussed in great depth, but implied to be responsible for the existence of Cromlech, the robot discovered on Groenheid. Cromlech is found to be friendly and cooperative, and is integral to the repair of the Earth-Groenheid wormhole. | |
