Rollback Sawyer's latest book is at Amazon

The aliens have sent us a message, and we have responded.

Dr. Sarah Halifax decoded the first-ever radio transmission received from aliens. Thirty-eight years later, a second message is received - and Sarah, now 87, may hold the key to deciphering this one, too ... if she lives long enough.

A wealthy industrialist offers to pay for Sarah to have a rollback - a hugely expensive experimental rejuvenation procedure. She accepts on condition that Don, her husband of sixty years, gets a rollback, too. The process works for Don, making him physically twenty-five again. But in a tragic twist, the rollback fails for Sarah, leaving her in her eighties as the second message arrives.

While Don tries to deal with his newfound youth and the suddenly vast age gap between him and his wife, Sarah struggles to do again what she'd done once before: figure out what a signal from the stars contains.

Exploring morals and ethics on both human and cosmic scales, Rollback is the big new SF novel by Hugo and Nebula Award-winner Robert J. Sawyer.

    Sawyer is currently getting rave reviews for his WWW trilogy. WWW = Wait, Watch, Wonder. Its about the internet becoming alive, becoming a concious Artifical Intelligence, and becoming a sentient being. The first 2 books in the trilogy are already published, The third is due out this year in 2011, I think. I love this trilogy.

    Calculating God was one of my favorites - it brought an element not usually found into SF, even if my beliefs differ. Good to see some SF being promoted!
