The year is 2025, a gathering of distinguished scientists convene to celebrate the last-gasp signals of our old, but fabled space probe Voyager 1. On its last legs, all remaining energy is doomed to run out, with the party on earth about to shut down communication, for good. Suddenly, in a very last-minute radio transmission, Voyager 1 signals mysterious activity interrupting its supposedly uneventful flightpath... External interference? A malfunction? Or was it something more? A struggle to find a plausible explanation ensues, with suppressed information slowly slipping through the cracks... whilst unbeknownst to mankind, whatever it was, had already set a course for Earth. As a chain of events unfolds, mankind's ability to produce a cohesive response is unwittingly corrupted, with only then, the true challenge beginning to emerge- is mankind, in fact, its own worst enemy? Learning that sometimes, only through silence can we begin to listen. The author of this book aspired to stay truthful to the bounds of scientific knowledge – weaving various technical aspects and dynamics into the fabric of both books – creating a realistic and compelling sci-fi story, within the authentic laws of the universe as we know it today. ...Unravelling the mystery, with the world descending into certain madness, the saga continues in the next book, The Encounter.
