Synopsis
|
Two
hundred years ago,
humans made a
stunning discovery
..
In the far reaches
of the solar
system: a huge
statue of an alien
creature, with an
inscription that
defied all efforts
of translation.
Now,
faster-than-light
drive opens the
stars to
exploration,
humans are finding
other relics of
the race they call
the
Monument-Makers -
each different,
and each
heartbreakingly
beautiful.
But except for a
set of footprints
on Jupiter's moon
Iapetus, there is
no trace of the
enigmatic race
that has left them
behind.
Then a team of
scientists working
on a dead world
discover an
ominous new image
of the
Monument-Makers.
Somehow it all
fits with other
lost
civilizations, and
possibly with
Earth's own
future. And
distant
past. But
Earth itself is on
the brink of
ecological
disaster - there
is no time to
search for
answers.
Even to a question
that may hold the
key to survival
for the entire
human race ... |
