Description

The cryptic radio signals have arrived; mankind has sentient neighbors broadcasting from planet Kepler. But during man’s 16-year space journey to greet them, the aliens’ society collapses. The crew of Salut arrives with a torturous decision: live and die on the alien dystopia or return to Earth while playing board games for another 16 years.

One disgruntled astronaut, Dixon, won’t dare meddle with the vulnerable aliens. He fears that human germs will annihilate the already depopulated species. But humanity may wipe out the aliens with a handshake anyway, for Dixon’s bored crewmates outvote him ten to one. They want that handshake. And they will medically contort their bodies, and their consciences, to survive that thrilling experience. Will human privilege lead to plague for the only other voice in the universe? Or can Dixon stop his selfish peers from ever touching Kepler?
