Introduction by Erich von Daniken, author of Chariots of the Gods. Discusses life on other planets, Interstellar communication, and such. Excerpted from Chapter 1: Visitors from Outer Space This will be a voyage through space and time in search of civilizations older than ours in other parts of the universe. We will look for: worlds that exploded their first atomic weapons a million years ago and tamed the base passions that almost turned their planets into bombs; worlds of machines that have forgotten the flesh that built them; intelligences constructing themselves out of messages sent halfway across the galaxy. We shall travel to the beginning and end of time. We shall see stars harder than diamonds; hot stars circling each other like dancers bound by rings of fire; titanic explosions that incinerate worlds; and strange dark places that turn reason inside out.
