Excellent science fiction adventure surrounding an archeological expedition to study the mystery of ancient monuments and ruins found at far star systems. The question of what became of the long-gone civilizations that made them is at the heart of the story. However, the archaeologists are also racing against time as a struggling Earth seeks to terraform one of the planets, leading to the destruction of some of the most precious artifacts. The characters are well-written such that the reader is drawn into their experiences and comes to care for what happens to them. This book could easily be made into two films. The story is so large that it would require two films to encompass it.
