"After the shocking first encounter between humans and alien life on Mars, Carmen Dula and her husband, pilot Paul Collins, have volunteered to spend six years traveling through deepest space aboard a tiny, long-range craft with five other humans and two Martians. Their mission: travel to a distant solar system that is home to the "Others" - an enigmatic, powerful, and possibly immortal race of beings who are trying to decide whether to obliterate humanity from the universe." "When the team arrives at the Others' system, they land on a surprisingly Earth-like planet covered in the ruins of an ancient civilization. And as they learn more of the Others' own genesis, they try to find enough common purpose between their species to forge a delicate truce." By the time Carmen and her party are sent back to Earth, fifty years have been consumed by relativity - and the Earthlings have not been idle. They have built a massive flotilla of warships to defend Earth against the Others' expected aggression. But the Others have more power than anyone could imagine - and they will brook no insolence from the upstart human race.
