The Coming
by Joe Haldeman
In the not too distant future, the people of Earth are once again walking down the path to a World War. A message is received on earth from a ship that is one tenth of a light-year away, travelling at just under light speed -both of which are well beyond Earths technology. The message is "WE'RE COMING". The story relates the events leading up to "The Coming" and how it affects the discoverer of the craft and the people who live and work around her.
