From the dead constellation of
Andromeda flashes an intensely
complicated message, a message so
advanced, so brilliant, it can only
originate from an immense
intelligence, beside which the
scientific discoveries of earth appear
pigmy-like and trivial.
But when the knowledge from the
distant galaxy is used to further the
ambitions of a small dictator, the
world topples on the brink of
destruction. Ignorance and insane
avarice result in terrifying storms,
epidemics, death from lack of
oxygen, and it is left to a small
group of frantic scientists to avert
the catastrophe of the Andromeda
Breakthrough.
