Summary

When the first call from the stars comes, do we even dare to answer?

Life changes for everyone in general - and for physicist Dean Matthews in particular - when astronomers detect a radio signal from a nearby star. First Contact forces humanity to face hard questions, and do it fast. Every answer spawns new questions. Every solution sets in motion a new and more daunting crisis to challenge Dean, his family - and an expanding number of interstellar civilizations - or generations to come.

Critic reviews

"One of the most original, believable, thoroughly thought-out, and utterly fascinating visions ever of what interstellar contact might really be like." (Dr. Stanley Schmidt, Editor, Analog magazine)

Profile Image for Stephen Cole

Very Political, very boring performance.

This is a Performance which is BLAND and uninteresting.
The story starts off very political with technology mixed in.
Sorry to say at section Five I stopped listening and have returned the book.
