«Fade-out» is the science fiction novel by Patrick Tilley, published in 1987 by Grafton in paperback (544 pages, in English).
When an object of extraterrestrial origin appears in orbit around the Earth, the world panics. Nine weeks later, civilization is on the brink of collapse. The novel narrates first contact with an advanced alien intelligence and the tension as humanity wonders whether that presence is harmless or a threat.
Originally published in 1975; it is not part of Joseph Hansen's Dave Brandstetter series, although some records associate it with that other novel of the same name from 1970.
For fans of suspense science fiction and of Patrick Tilley, author of the The Amtrak Wars series.

The name "Amtrak" – appropriated by a specific group of survivors – is a name remembered from what is called "The Old Time".
