The Talk of the Galaxy presents evidence for the existence of interstellar radio beacons of extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) origin that are beaming signals toward the solar system. Dr. LaViolette announced this important discovery to the astronomical community on January 12, 2000 at the 195th meeting of the American Astronomical Society held in Atlanta, Georgia (abstract). His findings were well received.
A video of his lecture and subsequent conversations with astronomers may be ordered for $20 + S/H.

First time proof of the existence of interstellar radio signals of intelligent origin being sent to us.
Evidence that pulsars are part of a vast network of ETI communication beacons.
This exhaustive study presents first time proof that astronomers have been receiving radio signals of intelligent origin. As early as 1967 and continuing to the present, radio astronomers have been carefully studying and cataloging unusual interstellar beacons called pulsars thinking them to be stars of natural origin. Dr. LaViolette, who has been researching pulsars for 21 years, shows that, up to now, the nature of these radio sources has been grossly misunderstood. He has discovered that pulsars are nonrandomly distributed in the sky, the most unique of these marking key Galactic locations that have particular significance from an ETI communication standpoint. He also presents evidence of unusual geometric alignments among pulsars and intriguing pulse period relationships. Equally compelling is the message they are sending-a warning about a past Galactic core explosion disaster that should help us avert a future global tragedy.
The paper by Gerry Zeitlin (2001) entitled: Are pulsar signals evidence of astro-engineered signalling systems? provides an excellent summary of many of the main points in The Talk of the Galaxy. To download click here.
Attention, Talk of the Galaxy Readers: Since 2000, when this book was published, 430 new pulsar discoveries were added to the pulsar data base. This has made it necessary to revise the conclusion about a pulsar "clump" marking the one-radian point. In addition, several new discoveries have been made in regard to the millisecond pulsars which greatly strengthens the conclusion that pulsars are artificially created interstellar communication/navigation beacons. These new findings are contained in the 2006 updated edition of this book entitled Decoding the Message of the Pulsars which may also be ordered here.

The Starburst Foundation
In a remarkable open-minded exploration of cosmic proportions, Dr. LaViolette proposes that since 1967 radio astronomers have been receiving and cataloging signals of extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI). While his explanation is complex, it underscores the very reasons why they may indeed be messages of intelligent origin. A book well worth reading, it is both thought provoking as well as profound in its implications for what our future may bring.
Joseph McMoneagle, author of Mind Trek and The Ultimate Time Machine
Dr. Paul LaViolette is absolutely brilliant in his provocative book, The Talk of the Galaxy-- fastidiously researched and well presented. You cannot read this book and not believe! A truly remarkable work from an equally remarkable man!
Sherry Hansen Steiger and Brad Steiger,
authors of The Rainbow Conspiracy and UFO Odyssey
Dr. Paul LaViolette systematically and eloquently presents an audacious hypothesis that the signals and locations of many pulsars provide evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence. Whatever the significance of his data and conclusions, this is a book well worth reading by those who ponder the great questions of life in the cosmos.

Provocative evidence of signals from a galactic society
Dr. Paul LaViolette makes an astonishing assertion: pulsars are not what we thought they are (spinning neutron stars) but are white dwarf stars fitted with synchrotron generators by an astro-engineering galactic society specifically to transmit information to us.
Anyone can make astonishing assertions; we encounter them every day. But LaViolette supports his hypothesis with extensive research data published by established astronomers, and a broad understanding of physics, astrophysics, and relevant areas of engineering.
It is not necessary to take LaViolette's ideas on faith. Pulsars ARE strange and becoming more and more difficult for astronomers to understand, the more they learn about them. The facts about pulsar behavior and their spatial distribution that LaViolette has culled from the research literature cry out for a new interpretation.
Anyone who has followed the field of SETI - the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence - and grown weary of the endless decades of futile searching for that narrowly-defined needle in the haystack, will find in The Talk of the Galaxy an extremely exciting revelation.Gerry Zeitlin, an early SETI pioneer
Also see his essay "The Forgotten Challenge: Pulsars" which gives an excellent overview of some of the main points covered in The Talk of the Galaxy and much more. Also see "Try This @Home" and the Forum on pulsars as ETI beacons. To view his entire internet essay go to: Open SETI Initiative.
Fascinating and extraordinary revelations
Amazing book. The author seems to have gone to lengths to meticulously and thoroughly research and detail the thesis he presents. There is an extensive volume of data printed here that makes it very difficult to refute his assertion. If what LaViolette is saying is true (and I believe there is every indication that it is), this news carries profound implications and should get the front-and-center attention of every astronomer, especially those involved in the search for extraterrestrial life.
Readers please note, there is an erratum on page 27 of The Talk of the Galaxy, the sentence at the end of the page should finish as: "...the downward slope being greatest around l = 30° to 40°."
