Description
Are we alone in the Universe? How many times has humanity asked this question, staring with longing and anxiety at the impenetrable silence of the night sky? What might first contact be like? Will they be our brothers—or our enemies, invaders who have set their sights on our beautiful planet?
Do eight representatives of Earth, sent on the first research mission to Mars, ask these questions? No. Even though they are the best representatives of different participating countries—scientists, doctors, and soldiers—they are, above all, people. They care about simple human questions: leadership, friendship, love.
However, their flight became a signal to a Supercivilization—a coalition of worlds of the Orion Belt—and it is they who will have to answer the question of whom they see in space: enemies or friends. And everything about Earth’s future depends on what answer they find.
On Earth itself, such a discovery is met with enthusiasm and suspicion. While some try to help the eight Martian team members, others look for benefits for their countries, and some even fear traps set by the visitors. This division only makes things worse.
