Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A classic of science fiction, this book predicted and inspired the creation of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI)—the organization dedicated to the search for extraterrestrial life. A tale of contact with alien life hailed by leaders of SETI organizations and today's leading science fiction authors as hugely influential, the story appeals to both science fiction readers and the hundreds of thousands of members of various SETI organizations. This replaces 034530036X.

Review:

"One of the finest books of speculative fiction ever written. It is strong, thoughtful, marvelously human, and to my eye without flaw. In sum, an unforgettable experience." Harlan Ellison

Review:

"One of the very best fictional portrayals of contact with extraterrestrial intelligence ever written!" Carl Sagan

Review:

"A must for any library whose readers look beyond their feet." Library Journal

Synopsis:

An influential science fiction contact classic that predicted and inspired the creation of SETI.
