  Unique and thought-provoking take on what it would be like if an alien intelligence visited Earth.
  This novel is beautifully written and gives a unique picture of how the world we live in would respond to an alien encounter. I love how the story has a very multi-disciplinary perspective, showing you how our culture, social relationships and scientific endeavours would be affected and would adapt to a truly different type of alien civilization. The author has a great command of the English language and tells the story in a captivating and exciting way. I highly recommend reading this if you want an original sci-fi novel with a realistic discussion of the impacts that an alien intelligence would have on our society.

  If you’re a science fiction fan, this book by first-time Australian author Greg Stroot is a “must-read”. It really puts science back into science fiction as Greg is a meticulous scientist himself with the vision and imagination to weave a compelling story.
  When a possible extra-terrestrial visitor is detected, the race is on to determine whether it’s time to panic or to rejoice. Are they here for conquest or curiosity? Will we be able to communicate with them?
  Set in the near future where artificial intelligence is making its presence felt and there is a real fear that the technology could “go rogue”, the world community comes together to communicate with the visitor and solve the world's pressing problems in the most surprising way.

  I found the storyline and storytelling captivating by its descriptive format and masterful interrelationship with all the elements woven together like the helix of DNA I always looked forward to seeing where the story was going
  
  Greg has been able to combine many elements into a logical yet captivating story of evolution alien intelligence space travel human artificial intelligence big business politics life after death and nanotechnology. The mix of all the elements is very crafty intertwined with such descriptive writing combined with a few subtle references to science fiction stables like 2001 a space oddessy
  
  Greg has been able to describe the story such that you can see the nanobots feel the cold of space and the thirst for companionship from the alien intelligence and the earthly artificial intelligence while also feeling and smell the action locations
  Good read Greg

  An inspired novel that explores how humanity would react to technology more advanced than were prepared for, which is becoming increasingly relevant. A new and realistic story of first contact where the author gives incredible detail on the evolution and history of the alien species.
