About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Two drafted soldiers, an optical astronomer and a radio astronomer, are stationed in an isolated weather dome at the South Pole for the winter. While observing a distant star, they inexplicably detect a complex signal being transmitted through space. Through painstaking analysis, they determine the signal carries a message conveying the technological history of an advanced alien civilization.
