“First contact is an intriguing hook…” Kirkus Reviews

In 2045, radio waves surge from the M13 nebula. Amid impeachment threats, President Rex Horn funds a project to decipher them.

Darien and Carly, students at NM State, believe ESP is the key to decoding the message, and they locate traces of the elusive phenomenon in twins–including monkeys, dogs, and people, all born in Alamogordo.

They also discover Darien possesses ESP, though he was born in the jungles of Panama. Convinced he has a twin still living there, they conduct a search for him. In an isolated village, they discover the witch doctor who delivered Darien. Just before she dies, the old woman reveals a startling fact. Will it be enough to decipher ET’s message?
