About This Book

A patrolman witnesses repeated annihilation of rockets approaching a lethal moon, where an invisible energy barrier destroys intruders. After an experimental craft momentarily withstands the hazard, he pursues the secret and uncovers evidence of ancient engineered defenses and a vast mechanical calculating apparatus buried on the satellite. The narrative follows his investigation into the machine's workings, his encounters with other investigators and survivors, and efforts to understand and overcome the automated safeguards, combining planetary mystery with speculative technology and practical problem-solving against an inscrutable force.
