I don't know if this is the one you're thinking of, but I know that this one, as corny as the content is, supposedly results directly from an alien race finding the Voyager spacecraft in open space and follows the trail back to Earth.

OooOOo...LRon! I can beat that 10 times!

This kinda falls into the "I read it, I liked it, I'll never admit it" catagory :)

Thanks for the reply, but that’s not it.

The one I’m thinking about had a story line more on the order of Lucifer’s Hammer, which got great reviews here for awhile, but I found it to be not all that great.

And, when I said years ago, I’m guessing 10+.

Thanks again.

Well, I saw the movie, which was spectacularly panned, and it was a little clunky, but it did have its points, and the basic story carried it along OK.

I gave it big props for the rocket exhaust on those hover thingies. It actually convinced me that it could be holding them up. They used the same “wavy” effect throughout, for various purposes. Worth seeing just for that, IMHO.

I read that when I was an 8-year old kid. It was a lot of fun. I read it again a couple of years ago, and, while still fun, it’s pretty naive in the political machinations. I never really gave a damn about the Scientology aspects, though they are in there.
