Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The universe has been explored — and humanity has all but given up on finding other intelligent life. Then an alien satellite orbiting a distant star sends out an unreadable signal. Is it the final programmed gasp of an ancient, long-dead race? Or the first greeting of an undiscovered life form?
Review:
"His most fascinating novel yet...guaranteed to exhilarate the reader." Washington Post Book World

Review:
"First-rate sf adventure and smooth, well-plotted storytelling." Library Journal
Review:

R.Godsell, September 10, 2008 (view all comments by R.Godsell)
Jack McDevitt is a master at alien encounters. When I picture what a first encounter should be like in my mind, Jack seems to be reading my mind. I like the fact that the Academy has rules that all explorers must follow. So, everytime there's a chance encounter with an alien lifeform he makes it seem like your right there in the story. It's exactly what I want when I pick up a book like this one. I know you'll enjoy reading Jack's books and you'll be starving for more.I suggest Omega next. His stories all have a way of bringing you into the book. I would tell you what it's about, but I want you to be shocked when you find out what happens. You won't be sorry when you purchase this book or any other book by Jack McDevitt. I promise.
