This takes place in a corrupt near-future Florida after astronomers 
have received a message from space.  Saying anything else is going
to spoil some part of the plot.  After all these years I suspect this
is probably my favorite alien first contact novel of all time.

This came out in 2000 and have just not got around to it.  No wonder 
I never get to nominate anything for Hugos.
