About This Book

An elderly Martian scientist rebuilds a telescope and trains eager pupils to contact a brilliant blue planet believed to host wiser beings who might rescue their war-ravaged world. They employ engineered space-warp signals and close observation of the planet's night lights and geography, nurturing hope that external guidance can halt their civilization's decline. Gradually their assumptions are tested and undermined, forcing them to confront the limits of their methods and the bleak prospects confronting their people.
