When it first appeared, the astronomers named the asteroid Keanu. A Near Earth Object, from a distant constellation, it was headed directly toward our sun. But when we went to meet it, it turned out to be far more than a huge rock hurtling through space... The two teams of astronauts sent to explore Keanu discovered it is, in fact, a spacecraft, a giant ship with an alien crew. A ship that had headed to Earth with a mission and a message: Help Us. A brave new frontier beckons. But we are about to learn that it comes with a price...

"The first 150 pages are a bit clunky and slow, but once you get past the first day it gets much better. Though I'm starting to think this series is very 1970s young adult science fiction. I'm enjoying it very much. Can't wait for the next book!"

" A slog to read gave up ,pity the first book was magic. "
— Gary, 11/7/2013" A little confusing in parts. Since I read the 1st book nearly a year ago, I had to catch myself up. "
— Benjamin, 10/7/2013" Disappointed, loved the first book in this series, but it didn't seem like anything happened for 250 pages. For real they could have told this story in at least half the pages. I did enjoy the last 150 pages. Full review coming. "
— David, 5/25/2013" Not very good - my first book by these authors, probably my last! Not a good beginning, middle kinda sucked and the end was so so. "
— John, 5/13/2013" Slogged to about p. 70 and gave up. Not worth it. Had a cheesy "made for TV" quality to it. "
