A message from space.

A tense, philosophically weighted first-contact thriller that uses cosmic mystery and theological ambiguity to explore humanity's place in the universe.

A mysterious black sphere is discovered in the orbit of Mars. The Achilles is sent to investigate. After the bedraggled six-person crew wake from eight months hibernation, the Sphere is transmitting a single word in every Earth language ever known - Deus.
