AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'What is really happening at the famous and very secret US base just outside of Alice Springs? Communications with satellites . . . or communications with Pandora? And who is Pandora? An ancient Aboriginal god, the origin of the Rainbow Snake legends from the dreamtime? A computer with a quirky sense of humour? A vanguard of an interstellar invasion fleet? Or is the reality much simpler . . . and much more dangerous?' (Source: back cover blurb.)
