Sleeping Giants

This is the first part in a series, and it feels somewhat incomplete. There's a conclusion still waiting to happen in the next two books. Nevertheless, the book tells a story with a beginning and an end, of international intrigue, alien artifacts, and personal relationships that's absolutely been worth reading. I saw someone make the comparison with Carl Sagan's Contact, and I think that's appropriate - if you liked Contact, you're probably going to like this book.
