A World of Difference

When a Viking lander on the planet Minerva is destroyed, sending back one last photo of a strange alien being, Earth's scientists are flabbergasted. Soon, a joint US/USSR manned mission is mounted--a symbol of peace between the two rivals. But that peace is threatened when the mission lands in the middle of an alien war.
