When the research facility at Blind Lake, MN, is placed under military blockade and quarantine, the scientists and workers who live and work there can only connect their enforced isolation with their research on a newly discovered form of alien life on a distant planet. Journalist Chris Carmody, trapped in Blind Lake, finds his life transformed by his chance encounter with researcher Marguerite Hauser and her troubled daughter, Tess, a young girl whose unusual mind may hold the key to unraveling the alien mystery. Veteran sf author Wilson (The Chronoliths; Darwinia) crafts a taut sf suspense tale featuring compelling personal dramas and hard science in a story of alien contact and the mysteries of the universe.
