From two hundred light years across the universe comes a message of terror. Ten years from now, a new radio telescope picks up from the constellation of Andromeda a complex series of signals which prove to be a programme for a giant computer. When the computer begins to relay the information it receives from Andromeda the project assumes a vital importance, scientists find themselves possessing knowledge previously unknown to mankind, knowledge that could threaten the security of human life itself.Sir Fred Hoyle was Plumian Professor of Astronomy and Experimental Philosophy at Cambridge University while John Elliott was a novelist, from their collaboration comes a work of major scientific interest and a remarkably original story that is as enthralling today.
Ten years from now, from the faraway constellation of Andromeda, a complex series of signals are collected which prove to be a programme for a giant computer. When the computer begins to relay the information it receives from Andromeda, scientists find themselves possessing knowledge previously unknown to man. Knowledge of such a nature that the security of human life itself is threatened.Not surprisingly from this collaboration between one of the world's most highly regarded astro-physicists and a talented dramatist, A for Andromeda is both a work of scientific interest and a story of originality and excitement. Though it is many years since the original BBC TV version starring Julie Christie had viewers enthralled, it retains its power to stimulate a new generation of science fiction enthusiasts.
