The universe has been explored - and humanity has all but given up on finding other intelligent life. Then an alien satellite orbiting a distant star sends out an unreadable signal. Is it the final programmed gasp of an ancient, long-dead race Or the first greeting of an undiscovered life form?

Reviews

Both she and McDevitt are at the top of their respective forms ... CHINDI is one of his very best - Locus
