Description ▲
By pure chance scientists discover a signal from space that could be a statement from rational beings. How can we read this message knowing nothing about the senders? What if we are not even sure whether they exist? "His Master’s Voice" is not a typical book. It lacks an adventure plot, yet the struggle with the mystery rivets readers’ attention more than in many adventure books, especially since the encounter with the un-known provokes elementary questions about the nature of the world, nature of man and reasons for defects of Being. "A fascinating, alarming and occasionally frustrating novel." THE NEW YORK TIMES
