When the two crews interpret a perplexing find on the surface quite differently, it brings them into a conflict that threatens to lead to a nuclear showdown — with consequences more far-reaching than they could have imagined.\nThey may be over 4 light years from Earth, but the implications could not hit closer to home.\nAnd they are too far away for two-way communication.\nMore than just another space saga, this wild, hard sci-fi ensemble drama (with a touch of romance) digs deep into human nature and the animal instinct that keeps us from elevating our existence. The only question left — is humanity doomed to repeat its mistakes, or are we ready to take the next crucial step?\n\nFEATURING an extensive Glossary Of Scientific Terms\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0C1JB5182\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.B0C1JB5182.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Benn, Arnie\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
