Journeying through space in search of relics from the past, a motley team of explorers happens upon an astonishing discovery Graduate student Tom Rice is thrilled to embark on his first deep-space archeological expedition. He is part of a team from Earth, venturing out in search of artifacts from a civilization that ruled the universe many millennia ago. Called the High Ones, the members of this long-gone society left tantalizing clues about their history and culture scattered throughout space. One such clue, a '€œmessage cube'€ containing footage of the ancient ones, is more interesting than all of the others combined. It seems to indicate that the High Ones aren'€™t extinct after all'€”and just like that, Tom Rice'€™s archeological mission has become an intergalactic manhunt, one filled with ever-increasing danger that will send the explorers hurtling headlong into the greatest adventure'€”and peril'€”of their lives. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Robert Silverberg including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author'€™s personal collection.
