    <![CDATA[In 2019, humanity finally finds proof of extraterrestrial life when a listening post in Puerto Rico picks up exquisite singing from a planet which will come to be known as Rakhat. While United Nations diplomats endlessly debate a possible first contact mission, the Society of Jesus quietly organizes an eight-person scientific expedition of its own. What the Jesuits find is a world so beyond comprehension that it will lead them to question the meaning of being &quot;human.&quot; When the lone survivor of the expedition, Emilio Sandoz, returns to Earth in 2059, he will try to explain what went wrong... Words like &quot;provocative&quot; and &quot;compelling&quot; will come to mind as you read this shocking novel about first contact with a race that creates music akin to both poetry and prayer.  ]]>
