From the Back Cover
CLASSIC SENSE-OF-WONDER SF MEETS 'THE X-FILES'
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 Lapetus, 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 civilzations, 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…
"Magnificent vision!"
