About this title

Synopsis

THE BRILLIANT NOVEL THAT LAUNCHED THE VARLEY PHENOMENON

The invaders came in 2050â ¦They did not kill anyone outright. hey said they came on behalf of the intelligent species of Earthâ dolphins and whales. The Invaders quietly destroyed every evidence of technology, then peacefully departed, leaving behind plowed ground and sprouting seeds. In the next two years, ten billion humans starved to death.Â

The remnants of humanity that survived relocated to the moon and other planets. But they are not alone in their struggleâ someone or something, somewhere in deep space, is sending them advanced scientific data via the Ophiuchi Hotline. And by the twenty-fifth century, the technological gifts from the Hotlineâ especially its biological and medical solutionsâ have created a world unlike any ever known or imaginedâ ¦
