Introduction

Bizarre events disturb the quietude of Gatestown; in fact, something extraordinary is happening to the entire world. There are widespread computer problems; poltergeist phenomena; strange deaths; hyperspace effects; sudden floods; suspected alien invasion; and, in particular, NASAs computers have frozen with hieroglyphics on the screens, incomprehensible to the experts.

The Unfolding Mystery

The puzzle slowly unfolds throughout the story and is essentially solved by a teenage computer wizard named Alvin. Is this an alien invasion or is it a gigantic error by an extraterrestrial civilisation and Earth has haplessly become a victim?

Science and Feasibility

The story is based on mainly valid science but is not too technical for the layman. In fact, the Intergalactic Travel Project that is revealed could be achieved practically.
