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?

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.
