At first it seemed impossible - a radio signal that came not from Earth but from far beyond the nearest stars. But then the signal was translated, and what had been impossible became terrifying. For the signal contains the information to build a Machine that can travel to the stars. A Machine that can take a human to meet those that sent the message.

每一个字用的都恰到好处， 每一段写的都像诗一样美， 每一章的结构紧紧相扣，故事娓娓道来。 凄美动人又不落俗套， 恢弘大气又不形而上。 张弛有度，犹如繁星可以像点点冰霜一样寒冷，也能像太阳一样炙热。 水火不容的科学与宗教在这里融会贯通，合二为一。
