Description

The science fiction epic of our time has arrived.

Three years ago, an object one hundred miles across was spotted on a trajectory for Earth's sun. Now, its journey is almost over. As it approaches, two competing manned vehicles race through almost half a million kilometers of space to reach it first. But when they both arrive on the entity, they learn that it has been sent toward Earth for a reason. An intelligent race is desperately attempting to communicate with our primitive species. And the message is: Help us.

    This book was awesome! It did MOT "fizzle out" at all! I'm not one for Alien type books but I loved this one and can't wait for the next one to come out! I recommend this book for anyone who likes "end of the world" type books! Whatever_whatever is a dumb butt so don't listen to him/her!

    After a promising start pitting two teams of astronauts against each-other in a space race with geopolitical underpinnings... this book just plain fizzles out. There is an interesting premise to the alien side of the story, but we never really get answers beyond a cursory explanation in a rushed "wrap it all up" final chapter. Very unsatisfying.
