Asleep at the Wheel of Time

In Asleep at the Wheel of Time, Michael Gray introduces what seems like a familiar science-fiction premise — humanity’s first contact with extraterrestrial intelligence — only to reveal that the encounter is part of a far older conversation unfolding beyond human awareness. When a massive comet is discovered on a collision course with Earth, the warning arrives in an unexpected form: encoded within humpback whale song. The message forces humanity to confront a startling possibility — that communication has been happening for millennia, just not with us at the center.
