The Eerie Silence by Paul Davies
SETI - Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence - is an amalgam of science, technology, adventure, curiosity and a bold vision of humanity's destiny. It is said that SETI is really a search for ourselves - who we are and what our place might be in the grand cosmic scheme of things. This title deals with SETI.

Davies is the most engaging of writers -- Clive Cookson * FT *
