A taut, literate techno-thriller about NASA's SETI Project
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Part thriller, part sailing adventure, part love story, part New Age prophecy--and ALL page-turner, this techno-thriller about NASA's SETI Project (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) pulls out all the stops. The audacious heroine, Kate Lipton, an investigative journalist, has stumbled on the news story of all time--certain proof that we are not alone in the universe. NASA's SETI project has received radio transmissions from an ET source, but they immediately cloak the news in secrecy. But Lipton is up to the task. She tracks a group of sequestered NASA scientists, sent to decrypt the ET transmissions, to a remote radio telescope/lab facility guarded by the ultrasecret National Security Agency, buried deep in a jungle on the island of St. Lucia in the Caribbean. What startling information do these transmissions contain? And who is sending them? Their message stands to ignite the imagination and spirit of mankind. A cannot-put-it-down, first rate thriller. "Highly recommended," says Mysteries by Mail. "The best book I ever read," says A. Finet of Bookstacks Unlimited.
