Science Fiction
"An object one hundred miles across, originating from Octans
constellation, on a trajectory for our sun. Now its journey
is almost over. And humanity's journey is about to begin. As
the Near-Earth Object--dubbed "Keanu"--approaches, two
manned vehicles race through almost half a million
kilometers of space to reach it first and land on the
frozen, desolate surface: NASA's Destiny, originally
designed for flights to the Moon and Mars, and the untested
lunar ship Brahma, representing the Russian-Chinese-Indian
Coalition. Both crews have orders to do whatever it takes to
triumphantly claim Keanu as their own. But when the
competing missions both arrive on the contested entity, they
find that Keanu is much more than a simple rock hurtling
through the blackness. It has been sent toward Earth for a
reason... A vastly more intelligent race is desperately
attempting to communicate with our primitive species. And
their interstellar courier carries a message that the very
core of humanity has responded to since time began"--
