About This Book

Mysterious broadcasts from space begin to scramble and permanently damage electronic receivers worldwide, producing bizarre visual patterns and sounds that disrupt civilian and military communications. Investigators link the phenomenon to experiments with newly developed Mahon-modified machines and discover one communicator, Betsy, that can sustain and record the signals; decoded tapes intensify international alarm. The crisis draws high-level military involvement and pulls in Sergeant Bellews, a technician who repairs Mahon devices, as experts race to analyze the transmissions, shield critical systems, and determine the origin and intent of the destructive emissions.
