In his garage in the sleepy suburbs of Cambridge, Massachusetts, George Carter has just inadvertently created a telepathic receiver while trying to conduct an experiment on X-ray bands. Unfortunately, he has no idea how he did it. But while he is working on perfecting the new device, others become aware of George's experiments. It is only a matter of time before disaster strikes. Meanwhile, in an unknown location somewhere in the distant universe, an alien race called the Sphyrans has just stumbled upon a remarkable scientific breakthrough. They have perfected a new psychomagnetic technology that allows them to communicate quickly and efficiently across their planet. At first, when strange gibberish starts showing up on the screens they discard it as random phenomena. But as the images start invading more and more channels, they begin to pay more attention. The Sphyrans slowly begin to realize that they have somehow created a bridge across the universe, establishing contact with an alien race....the Humans.

In it, he reveals a world where the first tentative threads of communication are stretched across the infinite canyon of space and time...
