Spindrift (novel)
''Spindrift'' is a 2007 science fiction novel by author Allen Steele.〔Folsom, Robert. ''Turn backward, turn backward ... Time proves somewhat elastic in Robert J. Sawyer's latest fiction.'' The Kansas City Star . 2007-04-22, Page 11〕 ''Spindrift'' is set within the same universe as the ''Coyote'' trilogy but was written as a stand-alone novel. Steele has stated that he wrote ''Spindrift'' because he was "tired of the militaristic sort of space opera that says that any contact between humans and aliens will necessarily be hostile".〔(Author Interview: Feedback loop ) The Space Review〕
==Plot summary==
In 2288 A.D. Jared Ramirez is serving a life sentence on the moon for his role in an attempt to reduce the human population by one-third. A telescopic array that he designed and programmed has received a transmission that is clearly alien. John Shillinglaw, Associate Director of the European Space Agency arranges for him to be a member of the science team aboard the spaceship ''Galileo'' which will explore the source of the transmission, an object that has been dubbed "Spindrift".
Ted Harker is the efficient, respected first officer of the ''Galileo''. He serves under Ian Lawrence, the arrogant but politically minded and well connected Captain. Ted discovers that the Captain has taken surreptitious measures that may poison a potential first contact with an alien species. After surviving the trip to Spindrift, the captain seems almost too anxious for Ted to lead a group of four to explore Spindrift while the rest of the crew visit what looks like a hyperspace gate that is orbiting nearby. Harker's team makes amazing discoveries, witnesses the destruction of the ''Galileo'', and meets an alien who makes a surprising suggestion for what humans could use for space trade.
