Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)An attempt at a first contact novel in which a massive interstellar ship, thought originally to be a natural object, enters the solar system. Experienced readers will immediately note the similarity of the basic plot device with a number of prior SF books, notably Clarke's Rendevous with Rama, with which this book shares some other features. Indeed, much of this book reads as a pastiche of ideas and plot devices culled from other books. The authors don't do anything particularly original with the plot devices and the quality of writing is pedestrian.

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.
