Life changes for everyone in general -- and for physicist Dean Matthews in particular -- when astronomers detect a radio signal from a nearby star. First Contact forces humanity to face hard questions, and do it fast. Every answer spawns new questions. Every solution sets in motion a new and more daunting crisis to challenge Dean, his family -- and an expanding number of interstellar civilizations -- for generations to come.
