โฆ Synopsis
From the multiple Hugo and Nebula Awardwinning Grandmaster, a new novel of classic science fiction adventure
Mystery, discovery, and wonder on a cosmic scale are the core of Andersons latest novel. Lissa, a human Earth woman, and her partner, Karl, a giant alien academic who resembles Tyrannosaursare interstellar archaeologists investigating the remote and uncharted planet Jonna. There, they seem to have hit the jackpot. For on that distant world theyve discovered an immense artifact that may have been left by the mysterious beings called the Forerunners. This race predated all the known cultures in the starfaring galaxy and vanished long before any other intelligent species had taken to the stars.
But Lissa and Karl arent the first to have made the discovery on Jonna. On the far-off world the archaeologists cross paths with the two freebooters whose plans for motives towards the arcane object are not purely scientific. Their discovery may be the best preserved relic of the ancient beings yet found. Other artifacts from the Forerunnersonce reverse engineershave revolutionized entire fields of technology, reaping huge financial rewards. If the same holds true for this newest discovery, Lissa realizes, only she and Karl stand between the seemingly friendly freebooters and what could be the treasure of a lifetime.
