Dr. Sarah Halifax decoded the first-ever radio transmission
received from aliens. Thirty-eight years later, a second
message is received and Sarah, now 87, may hold the key to
deciphering this one, too . . . if she lives long enough.
A wealthy industrialist offers to pay for Sarah to have a
rollback—a hugely expensive experimental rejuvenation
procedure. She accepts on condition that Don, her husband of
sixty years, gets a rollback, too. The process works for
Don, making him physically twenty-five again. But in a
tragic twist, the rollback fails for Sarah, leaving her in
her eighties.
While Don tries to deal with his newfound youth and the
suddenly vast age gap between him and his wife, Sarah
struggles to do again what she’d done once before: figure
out what a signal from the stars contains.
