As the engram crew of a survey ship watches, ten orbital towers are constructed around an uninhabited planet’s equator-by unidentifiable, spindle-shaped entities. Then, without any attempt at communication, the spindles withdraw.
Cautiously exploring the towers, Peter Alander finds what appear to be gifts from a technologically-advanced race, including a faster-than-light ship. But when Alander pilots the ship back to Earth with the news of the unprecedented event, he may be giving humanity a gift it can’t afford to accept…

Book 1 in a new series from the writers of the Evergence trilogy.
