About This Book

A retired Special Patrol commander recounts a youthful mission to inspect an unvisited small planet that reveals cities and unfamiliar inhabitants. During cautious contact the crew uncovers a compact metallic device that appears to emit a voice, and the artifact becomes the center of a puzzling investigation whose resolution is narrated retrospectively. The account mixes shipboard routine and danger, interspecies rivalry and professional pride, and a speculative focus on technology, belief, and the unexpected consequences of exploration.
