Negative Positive
Title: Someone is Out There
Review: This is the first book of The Exploration Chronicles. It deals with a simple premise; a signal of most-likely intelligent origin has been detected from space. How will the world react?In Signals, Kevin D. Randle takes a look at the scientific, military, academic, political, and journalistic communities and how they react to the discovery of a signal that is probably intelligent in origin. Members of each of these communities is highlighted as they try to better their careers with the news or get roped in by it. Randle does an excellent job of predicting how some people would react. From the first hours that the signal is detected all the way to a massive grandstand the story moves through believable paces.At first this seems like a hard-science SF novel, but it really deals very little with the science and pays most of its attention to human nature and reaction. I hope that the other books in this series are as good because it certainly started out on the right foot.
