La voix du maître

Résumé

Discovery of a unknown neutrino interaction begins a new era in neutrino astronomy. An indecipherable message is repeated in the neutrino stream. Once belatedly recognized, it sparks a secret project in the American desert, bent on decipherment. The more discovered, the more enigmatic, vital & potentially destructive it seems. The novel is written as 1st-person narrative, the project memoir of irascible mathematician, Peter Hogarth. There's a preface in which he dissects his own personality & two rambling introductory chapters, one of which reviews fictitious literature on the subject.
