Customer Reviews

A true Classic

Stoner knew. The fiery object hurtling toward Earth was an alien spacecraft. But the world might never know. He was trapped behind a curtain of secrecy. Because the discovery had shattered the world power balance, setting of a struggle for supremacy that raged from the sacred halls of the Vatican to the corridors of the Kremlin and the Pentagon. The forces of fear and treachery would use any weapon at their command to keep the world in darkness. Helped by a Soviet linguist and a young student, Stoner planned a desperate mission to preserve the legacy of the star vouager for all mankind.The burearcratic politics of a space classic is pure Bova. And the sense of awe when Stoner finally gazes upon an alien face is pure art. This is the most convincing account I have ever read of how mankind might react to first contact.

Awsome book, An execllent thriller

A great book on the future.

Gripping

Yep, pretty good read. Almost more of a political drama than a science fiction novel as the various parties around the world play power games with each other.

Its good, very good.

A very good book, typical Bova, thoroughly enjoyed this book, hope you do too
