DECIPHER

"A rocketing adventure...Stel Pavlou's debut novel burst with marvels of scientific chitchat and towers above most recent science fiction."-The Philadelphia Inquirer

"Few debuts are as ambitious as Decipher. Exhilaratingly imaginative."-Sunday Times (UK)

"A wide-screen special-effects Technicolor blast; perfect for a Hollywood blockbuster."
-The Times (London)

"Deep, smart, and well-researched."-SFX

"A fascinating blend of science, mythology, language, and much more."
-The Independent (London)

"If Michael Crichton isn't nervous, he should be. Not only has Stel Pavlou written a scientific thriller that's as tautly plotted a roller-coaster ride as anything Crichton's ever written, but he's done so using intelligent characters, and a clever, synergistic premise. The weaving of scientific detail with imagination is superb and unparalleled."--Zentertainment.com
