This is truly great novel and its written by one of the most respected scientist in the field about science of outer space, Carl Sagan. Ellie is instrumental in decoding the message and building the ``Machine'' for which it gives instructions (despite stiff opposition from religious fundamentalists and those scientists and politicians who fear it may be a Trojan Horse). She learns from the aliens that there is a similar message hidden within one of the key transcendental numbersof mathematics. A worldwide system of radio telescopes, in the charge of brilliant astrophysicist Ellie Arroway, picks up a ""Message'' from outer space. Who could be better qualified than the author of the highly successful Cosmos to turn the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence, and humankind's first contact with it, into imaginative reality? This is precisely what Sagan does in this eagerly awaited and, as it turns out, engrossing first novel.
