Product Description

When the very notions of fact and history hang in the balance, is the world ready to embrace the hardest truth of all -- that we are not alone in the universe?

When John and Lisa receive a repeating pulse from another world at the mountaintop research center where they work, they realize that it is not simply false data; it is far too regular and enduring. Suddenly the long awaited possibility of extraterrestrial life seems imminently plausible.

But who are these beings communicating from a far-off place, and what do they want? As John and Lisa learn to decipher the messages from this distant people, they begin to unravel the mystery of humankind, of life itself, and learn perhaps more than anyone is ready to admit. But when the pieces finally come together and an intergalactic visit looms on the horizon, no one knows what to expect.

As they battle for the truth, John and Lisa must face two governments, a homicidal general, and their love for each other. Failure is not an option; the stakes are simply too high. But what they learn threatens the very notions of God, of evolution, of everything people of Earth have come to depend on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable read!, June 24, 2009
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. A little hard at first to get into, but once you are past the first couple of chapters, you are hooked. It is a page turner. Well-written and thought provoking. I highly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent read!, June 19, 2009
By Richard Rayer (Cleveland, OH USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I really enjoyed this book. The story has plenty of twists and turns. I found myself having to turn the page so I would find out what happens next. The Sci-fi part does not get in the way of a truly wonderful story line of life and love thorugh-out the ages.

The story of Lisa and John in their quest as scientists is but the surface of an extremely old and pondering set of questions? Are we alone in the universe and where did we come from? We have all thought or asked these questions of ourselves. This book presented plausible ideas about these questions, but presented them in a very human and touching manner.

I hope you enjoy the read as much as I did.

I am not a big fan of Science Fiction, but this story was a good read. I was thoroughly engrossed from beginning to end.
