Recent review of the ebook."This is unquestionably the finest first contact novel I have ever read. 
"The whole first contact scenario is depicted in a fresh, innovative way. By this I mean the technological side of the process of discovery and analysis of the object; and also the nature, integrity and motivations of several pivotal characters. The behavior of other characters, of course, is sadly predictable, because this cannot be changed in any story one expects people to actually believe. 
"The way that conflict plays out is enormously satisfying to me.
"I recommend this book very highly."
