Some secrets should never be uncovered . . .
Professor Bill Napier, an internationally acclaimed astronomer and leading authority on celestial phenomena, has written a riveting thriller combining some of the latest ideas on the frontiers of science with fascinating "what if" speculation.
An underground research station in Eastern Europe is suddenly bombarded with rhythmic bursts of subnuclear particles from beyond earth - a pattern so complex that it can only have come from a highly evolved intelligence. As the scientists begin to decode the messages, they are amazed by the information they reveal: secrets of a technology far in advance of our own, suggesting that a benign civilisation wishes to share its knowledge with humankind.
Surely, the scientists argue, the signal should be acknowledged and contact established. But the world's superpowers have other ideas, and suddenly the scientists find themselves at the heart of a global conspiracy - on the run from forces determined to claim the benefits of the alien messages for themselves. And what will be the effect on a world suddenly faced with unimaginable new scientific knowledge . . .?
