The classic first-contact science fiction novel that launched the career of Jack McDevitt, the national bestselling author of Coming Home-now revised from the original edition, and featuring a new foreword.

From a remote corner of the galaxy a message is being sent. The continuous beats of a pulsar have become odd, irregularartificial. It can only be a code.

Frantically, a research team struggles to decipher the alien communication. And what the scientists discover is destined to shake the foundations of empires around this world-from Wall Street to the Vatican

"A good read...Delightful."--Gregory Benford, Nebula Award-winning coauthor of Shipstar
