Blindsight
by Watts, Peter
Two months after sixty-five thousand alien objects surrounded Earth and were burned by the atmosphere, a space probe hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system. A group of freaks and retrofits are sent to make contact with this unknown intelligence, including a linguist with multiple personalities, a biologist who has been radically interfaced with machinery, a pacifist warrior, a "vampire" recalled from the grave, and a synthesist--an informational topologist with half his mind gone.
