Book Description
=============================
For millennia, humankind and the other intelligent races have studied
the bizarre and unfathomable constructs of the legendary beings known
as the Builders. But for all that study, they are still no closer to
figuring out who - or what - the Builders have been, or where they have
gone.
Then, on the world called Quake, in the midst of the violent planetary
upheaval that is Summertide, a small group of humans and aliens witness
the culmination of all those years of watching and waiting: the planet
Quake opens up, and something comes out - and it looks as if, at long
last, the discovery of the Builders themselves is at hand.
All her life, Darya Lang has dreamed of finding the Builders, whose
artifacts she has single-handedly cataloged for the rest of the universe.
Troubleshooter and adventurer Hans Rebka has his own dreams of unraveling
the mystery of those artifacts. To Louis Nenda and the Cecropian Atvar
H'sial, the Builder artifacts represent a once-in-a-lifetime shot at
untold wealth. And close behind them come the others: Councilor Julius
Graves, who does not trust anyone else to make first contact unassisted;
the slaves J'merlia and Kallik, who crave only a reunion with their
masters; and the embodied computer E.C. Tally, charged with finding
out just what the rest are up to.
The trail that begins at Quake leads to unexpected Builder artifacts
full of traps for the unwary and answers for those who know how to ask
the questions. But the biggest question of all will remain an enigma,
while their search unleashes the greatest threat to civilization ever
imagined...
.
Planetary Administrators Hans Rebka and Max Perry had no choice but
to go to Quake - risking their lives to protect the others - and to
learn, just maybe, the secret of Summertide and the Builders.
