Read in September 2013
This was a wonderfully well written strange novel about a British scientist in turn of the century Egypt tries to create a massive astronomical device capable of signals to Mars where he is attempting to contact highly evolved aliens that he says he has proof exits there. This book also reads as a comedy full of sly humor and vivid imagination with comments on colonization, empire and "the other". I found it very entertaining and absorbing.
It's written as a historical documentary about an event that never happened and the women involved with this scientist.
