About this ebook

Over twenty years ago SETI closed most of the large radio telescope earth stations. One of them is not as abandoned as it seems, and it just received an alien message from 95,000 light years away.

What an involved, complex story! I loved the mix of ages all working to save us humans. I love the interaction between the AIs and the humans. I'm happy to recommend this book to anyone who likes authors who think outside the box and continually keep the reader on their toes.
