Making Contact: The Kaiyō Mission

By Mario Kossmann

Ever since mankind realised that we are not the centre of the universe, people have sought to find out whether we are alone. We have sent signals, listened out for signals, sent probes, and observed, not just what we can see in the distance, but also what we cannot see with our eyes in different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum.

This is the story of a courageous mission to find extra-terrestrial life in our own solar system, the experiences of amazing people from all over the world, working together as one, to push the boundaries of human knowledge and understanding, while bringing out the best human qualities we have within us.

A diverse crew of scientists and engineers - each carrying their own hopes, doubts, and histories - must work together as they push beyond the limits of human endurance. From the harsh vacuum of deep space to the alien oceans beneath miles of ice, they face challenges that test not only their training, but their very humanity.

What they find will reshape our understanding of life, the Solar System, and ourselves.
