Originality, excitement, pace and scientific accuracy - readers who appreciate these elements in science fiction will enjoy thoroughly this outstanding novel of adventure. A for Andromeda is the product of a very successful collaboration between an astrophysicist of world-wide reputation and a talented dramatist whose work for British television has received the highest critical recognition.
The scene is set ten years from now. A new radio telescope picks up from the constellation of Andromeda, 200 light years away, a complex series of signals which prove to be a program for a giant computer. Someone in outer space is trying to communicate using a supremely clever, yet entirely logical method.
When the necessary computer is built and begins to relay the information it receives from Andromeda, the project assumes a vital importance: politically, militarily and commercially. For scientists find themselves possessing knowledge of such a nature that the security of human life itself is threatened.
As a seven part serial on BBC television, this story established popularity records. The last several instalments doubled BBC's audience reaching 80% of the viewing audience of Great Britain.
