Blindsight

Two months ago, thousands of alien objects lit up the sky as the object burnt up in our atmosphere. Now, one of our probes near Neptuen has discovered a signal coming from the outer edges of our solar system. The signal seems to be communicating with some distant star, or perhaps something much closer. The question facing world leaders is, who do we send to force an introduction with aliens whith unknown motives? The answer: a linguist whose mind has been split into separate, sentient cores; a biologist who can see X-rays and taste ultrasounds; a pacifist warrior; a violent, genetically engineered predator; and a synthesist. This is the team that has the fate of the world in their hands.
