Chindi (Priscilla ''Hutch'' Hutchins Series #2) » (Reissue)

Jack McDevitt is a former naval officer, taxi driver, customs officer and motivational trainer. His novels include The Engines of God, Ancient Shores, Eternity Road, Moonfall, Infinity Beach, and DeepSix.

The universe has been explored—and humanity has all but given up on finding other intelligent life. Then an alien satellite orbiting a distant star sends out an unreadable signal. Is it the final programmed gasp of an ancient, long-dead race? Or the first greeting of an undiscovered life form?

Locus

McDevitt [is]... a writer of hard, humane science fiction thrillers, and Chindi is one of his very best.
