I read this book a while back but I can't remember the title or who it's by. Anyone know? Here's what I remember: -science fiction -pre - 1990's -black monuments are found, each measures a ratio of exactly 1x5x9 -one is found on Earth, one on the Moon, one on a moon of Jupiter -eventually Jupiter is consumed by these monuments -the monuments have some sort of field protecting them, nothing can damage them -this field is described as slippery feeling -the monument on the Moon broadcasted radio signals when it was unburied -people go through the top of the monument on Jupiter's moon and come out somewhere else, colors are inverted here -these people's ship is destroyed by going into a sun -one man survives because he was protected by some being -the survivor is changed into a different form and he visits Earth and sees a female who is important to him, she doesn't see him Is this enough for someone to tell me what book it is? Also, who is the author?
