About This Book

A quartet of investigators employ an experimental telepathic apparatus to project their minds to distant planets, recounting previous visits and clashing over the social and ethical fallout of contact with alien societies. Domestic tensions arise from differing reactions to a recent expedition where class conflict on an alien world divided the couple, while the team prepares for a new mission to locate an intelligence as advanced as humanity but evolved in nonhuman form. The narrative mixes chamber drama and scientific debate with speculative descriptions of extraterrestrial ecologies and possible alternative evolutionary paths.
