Cover Art: Stephan Martiniere (illustrator). 2002 Edition. © 2000: 1st in the 'Engines Of Light' series of books. 1st printing of 2002 edition:- Synopsis: The saga of mankind's first encounters with a mysterious and majestic alien civilization. Matt Cairns is a 21st-century outlaw programmer who takes on the shady jobs no one else will touch. Against his better judgement, he accepts an assignment to crack the Marshall Titov, a top-secret orbital station operated by the European Space Agency. But what Matt will discover there will propel him on an extraordinary and quite unexpected journey. Gregor Cairns is an exobiology student and descendant of one of Terra Nova's first families. Hopelessly infatuated with a lovely young trader's daughter, he is unaware that his research partner, Elizabeth, has fallen in love with him. Together, Gregor and Elizabeth confront the great work his family began three centuries earlier - to rediscover the secret of interstellar travel. Ranging from a gritty near-future Earth to a distant alien world, 'Cosmonaut Keep' is contemporary science fiction at its highest level, a visionary epic filled with daring individuals seeking a place for themselves in a vast, complex, and enigmatic universe:- Review(s): "Plenty of eye-kicks and some wonderful set pieces, from the arrival of a gigantic starship to the herding of dinosaurs by flying saucers. 'Cosmonaut Keep' is a portal to a deeply imagined future history that parlays 'X-Files' paranoia about Area 51 and alien Greys into a vast interstellar community watched over by microcosmic gods" - Paul McAuley, Interzone / "Science fiction's freshest new writer" - Salon:- (original cost $7.99).
