When signals from a neighboring star system are detected by radio telescopes and signal-gathering antennae arrays, long-term friends President Tsirch Ren Lang and Vice President Richard Natás find themselves embroiled in a political conflict. Natás has assembled a team of world-renowned scientists and communications experts, shared top-secret research information with foreign agencies, and actively worked to limit the nation’s military defenses. Natás’ actions, coupled with his tendency to withhold information, have put President Tsirch in the unfavorable position of suspecting his good friend and running mate of undermining the very government they serve. But, as the truth unfolds, political differences become inconsequential and are set aside as humanity’s greatest minds from all over the world scramble to decipher the signals, prepare for contact, and protect Earth from any and all potential threats.
Science fiction meets political intrigue in this tale of intergalactic communication and extraterrestrial life. Having lived through the space race, McCullar’s diverse life experience has culminated in a creative tale where advanced technology such as video cubes, mental links, moon labs, and voice interactive computers are commonplace. The author intersperses complex scientific topics and philosophical concepts with humorous dialogue to keep readers engaged. This book has a little of everything—covert CIA surveillance, highly classified scientific research, matters of national security, alien contact, religious belief systems, and even a sprinkling of romance. With a long cast of characters and fast-paced plot development, this work of fiction explores the impact that the discovery of extraterrestrial life would have on humanity’s worldview and faith.
