Nick, an astronomy graduate student, dies in a laboratory fire in
what is later shown to be murder. He had stumbled on alien signal
coming from Europa as a series of on-off methane pulses that formed
a digital signal. Because of his stormy relationship with his
arrogant professor, Nick had not acknowledged that there were
previous signals he'd recorded, but the geology professor Candrew
Nor is able to get a copy of this early part of the message,
although he can't at first decode the pages of arcane numbers.
Candrew's search for Nick's murderer is complicated by the
international importance of message, and by the arrival on campus
of an English astronomer (who is later abducted), a visiting pastor
Rhodes (from the HighRhode to Heaven), Nick's wife (attacked in her
house), and a graduate student from Indian (who has sophisticated
monitoring equipment). Candrew himself is attacked at his office by
an unknown foreigner. It takes detailed analysis of debris from the
burnt lab to finally tie the murderer to the crime.
