About This Book

An alien envoy suffers radiation-induced amnesia after passing a nova and spends centuries searching the stars to locate a particular planet where he believes a mission must be completed. He methodically maps and eliminates candidate systems, encounters varied life forms and developing intelligences, and finally recognizes a lens-shaped galaxy and a small yellow star with a third planet that matches his memory. He cautiously studies the planet and its cities from orbit, determined to remain unseen until investigation restores his knowledge and reveals the nature of the task he was sent to perform.
