Dust jacket lightly bumped in a few places, else fine. From the author of The Andromeda Strain comes his most powerful and terrifying novel yet. In the South Pacific, 1000 feet below the surface of the water, a space ship rests on the ocean floor - a space ship at least 300 years old...Rushed to the scene are four scientists to investigate this astonishing find and search for answers. Has it come from an alien culture? From a different universe? From the future? What is the giant, perfect, silver sphere - clearly not made by man and seemingly impenetrable from him - that they find inside the ship? Who - or what - is transmitting messages onto their computer screen: messages that grow increasingly hostile?
