10 Second Review
The first signs of alien intelligence reach Earth in the form of music.

When a young priest hears this music he believes it is God's will that he journey to this new world. God's hand seems to be at work as unlikely resources and events transpire and give this priest the opportunity to fulfill his dream.

What he finds on this planet will shatter his body and faith.

This is a shocking and gripping novel that will have a wide appeal.
Many interesting topics are explored but this book is not for the emotionally squeamish.
