This is an intelligent and thought-provoking piece of political sci-fi. The discovery of a transmission from another planet at a time of great political strife (America, China and Russia are on the brink of making the Cold War very hot indeed) could potentially bring world peace or world war. Though the consequences affect the whole world, the fate of the world comes down to the petty interactions of individuals - two Hungarian scientists with an old rivalry, an aldulterous drunkard encountering an old flame, a young man struggling to deal with his attraction to the boss's wife. The book is very well written but slow moving, taking me several chapters to really get engaged with the characters. The ending is difficult to predict, but the epilogue gives a strong sense of satisfaction and it really is worth plowing through to the end. www.solelyfictional.org

There's main parties in the novel, those that believe the message and wish to use it as a catalyst to join countries together with the common goal of improving humanity through disarmament along with implementation of structures to encourage peace. Then there's a second party mainly consisting of a doubtful scientist, his underling and a senator he ropes in to help scuttle the plans being made.
Overall, it's not a bad story, it's enjoyable and there's all the elements of humanity within - greed, distrust, power, deceit, hatred. However I was expecting it to be more science-y and less political whereas it primarily is a novel of politics revolving around the reaction to the message. ( )
