		<description><![CDATA[This is speculative fiction of the very finest sort - an extremely well-informed 'what if' written by one of the most respected astronomers and scientific communicators of his generation, a man that can also be credited with making the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence (SETI) a credible possiblity, as well as inspiring almost single-handed the current movement towards scepticism and critical thinking.]]></description>
