Centuries after the war with the Mutes, the first aliens to be encountered by humankind, a startling new discovery in the far reaches of the Orion Nebula appears. On a planet with conditions favorable to life, explorer vessel The Columbia comes across a small town seemingly inhabited by an intelligent species not yet discovered. But when a highly publicized follow-up mission is sent to make contact mere months later, the entire town has vanished, leaving no trace—or such is presumed to be the case until Alex Benedict and his archaeological crew show up to investigate. Officially, their mission is to find concealed artifacts that may have been left behind, but the team’s real goal is to solve the mystery of how these aliens disappeared so rapidly—and why. In turns terrifying and miraculous, the answers raise the stakes for every member on board as they look to make their mark on history.

Jack McDevitt
Amerikansk forfatter. Hans første noveller begyndte at komme I midten af 80'erne og hans første roman "The Hercules Text" I 1986. Senere kom "A Talent for War" en udmærket bog om en mands søgen efter en legandarisk krigshelt McDevitt's næste bog hed "The Engines of God" og handlede om intergalaktisk arkæologi. En mystisk bygning bliver fundet på en fjern planet og menneskerne prøver at finde ud af hvad de bruges til. Så kom "Ancient Shores.", "Eternity Road" og "Infinity Beach." Ingen af McDevitt's bøger har noget med hinanden at gøre da han har udtalt at han hader fortsættelser.
