Resurrecting the plot of a classic television science fiction series, this novel follows a group of scientists who detect a radio signal from a distant galaxy. The signal turns out to contain instructions for the design of an advanced computer, but when the computer is built, it merely delivers another set of guidelines—this one for the creation of a living organism named “Andromeda.” One of the scientists soon suspects that the organism’s purpose is much darker than they realize: to overpower and enslave the human race. Coauthored by a noted astronomer and based on one of the most popular science fiction series ever broadcast on British television, this suspenseful story illustrates what can happen when an alien intelligence reaches into human minds, revealing that a silent, invisible conquest of Earth may already be underway.

From two hundred light years across the universe comes a message of terror...  A new radio telescope picks up a complex series of signals from the Andromeda constellation - 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, for scientists find themselves possessing knowledge previously unknown to man - knowledge of such a nature that the security of human life itself is threatened.

Andromeda Breakthrough

Fawcett

From the dead constellation of Andromeda flashed continuously a long and intensely complicated message. Picked up during the testing of the world's most powerful radio-telescope, it proved to be a blueprint of a computer so advanced that it made all earth-built computers seem like children's counting beads and even produced a thinking, living human-being to interpret its needs. Could this be part of a fantastic plan to take over the earth?
