Journeying through space in search of relics from the past, a motley team of explorers happens upon an astonishing discovery
Graduate student Tom Rice is thrilled to embark on his first deep-space archeological expedition. He is part of a team from Earth, venturing out in search of artifacts from a civilization that ruled the universe many millennia ago. Called the High Ones, the members of this long-gone society left tantalizing clues about their history and culture scattered throughout space. One such clue, a βmessage cubeβ containing footage of the ancient ones, is more interesting than all of the others combined. It seems to indicate that the High Ones arenβt extinct after allβand just like that, Tom Riceβs archeological mission has become an intergalactic manhunt, one filled with ever-increasing danger that will send the explorers hurtling headlong into the greatest adventureβand perilβof their lives.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Robert Silverberg including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the authorβs personal collection.
