About This Book

A hunter on a sand-swept world uncovers a small, glowing metal cylinder amid the ruins of ancient machines and, by manipulating it, releases a long-dormant signal cast into space. That accidental activation draws outside attention and sparks a chain of events that brings technological and social upheaval to his people, linking ruined artifacts and everyday camp life. The tale follows his immediate struggle to survive the desert and his growing wonder and unease at the disruptive promise of contact with a livelier future.
