Blurb: “Here is James Blish's new novel written with brilliance and astonishing realism-about that ultimate moment in time when-
THE FIRST "ALIEN" FROM OUTER SPACE ARRIVES ON EARTH:
How "it" comes and what "it" wants.
How we greet "it," nourish "it," communicate with "it."
What we learn from "it" of interstellar worlds, galactic powers, the void beyond,
And how-in the terrifying moment of Earth's ultimate crisis-we defend the complex civilization of tomorrow from "it!"
THIS COULD HAPPEN TOMORROW, OR THE NEXT DAY-BUT THE AWESOME MOMENT IS CERTAINLY WITHIN THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY -AND MAY BE CLOSE AT HAND!”
