In this sequel to George's Secret Key to the Universe, friends George and Annie (daughter of a Global Space Agency scientist) again venture through the universe, this time to investigate possible extraterrestrial contact. Contrived dialogue and precious plotting hamper the story, but the interspersed essays--contributed by leading scientists--are inspiring, communicating both basic concepts and thrilling frontiers. Stunning photos are interspersed.
