Text from the back cover:
Ten years after Earth sent messages out into deep space, there has been an answer. Music from a distant planet has reached our radios. Are aliens about to invade? Almost-eighteen-year-old Derek doesn't really care, because at an end-of-the-world party, things progress with Jennifer Novak. Derek is hopelessly in love. But Jenny's plans may or may not include Derek. He'll try anything to win her -- even seeking advice from the alien who shows up in town. This alien might just be the answer to Derek's problem. But is Derek willing to risk starting an interstellar war just to get the girl? And just how far will he travel to discover the mysteries of the universe -- and love?
