In 2082, humanity became convinced it isn’t alone in the Universe. Countless reconnaissance probes of aliens enveloped Earth in a glowing web. Burning up in the atmosphere, they managed to transmit a signal beyond the Solar System. To establish contact with an extraterrestrial civilization, the ship “Theseus” is sent, staffed with the best specialists in their field. But when the researchers reach their destination, they realize that the most incredible fantasies about alien intelligence pale in comparison to reality—and the fate of Earth and all humankind is on the line.
