The science fiction epic of our time has arrived.
Three years ago, an object one hundred miles across was spotted on a trajectory for Earth's sun. Now, its journey is almost over. As it approaches, two competing manned vehicles race through almost half a million kilometers of space to reach it first. But when they both arrive on the entity, they learn that it has been sent toward Earth for a reason. An intelligent race is desperately attempting to communicate with our primitive species. And the message is: Help us.

A cinematic style and action-filled plot make this a good choice for readers who enjoy the multivolume space sagas of Kevin J. Anderson and David Drake.

This slick space opera trilogy starter sets up an interesting situation but never quite brings it to life.

As a novel, its clean, screenplay-inspired narrative efficiency -- in which you only get as much character development as you need to make sure everyone's roles are established, and the emphasis is on getting to the action as quickly as possible -- makes for a brisk and engrossing read, but an inescapably shallow one.
