Message to Arecibo

<p>Is a killer comet heading toward earth? As politicians-both on the left and the right-fight over what should be done about the potential worldwide disaster scientists make a startling new discovery. The comet has just responded to a decades old message from the now-defunct Arecibo Observatory. Is the comet really an alien ship? And are these creatures the enemy or potential allies against an even greater threat? </p><p>As the world waits breathlessly for the news from outer space Julie Lopez just wants to forget her disastrous last day as a New Jersey cop-the day when she let down a fellow officer and he died. But fate won't allow her to retire to a quiet life as a chef. She and on-again off-again boyfriend Danny will end up playing a major role in the confrontation with the aliens. </p>
