synopsis from back cover...
In the year 2130, a strange object is discovered, hurtling through space on what could be a collision course with Earth.
What is it?
Where did it come from?
And, most important, what does it want?
Those are the questions scientists on Earth have to answer - and fast - if Mankind is going to be ready for its first encounter with an alien intelligence!
