About This Book
Clarence Raine thought he was just on another routine assignment—a botanical survey on the remote planet Straba. Instead, he finds himself caught in a mystery centuries old when he discovers an ancient, abandoned spaceship, the Perseus, hidden on a desolate golf course. But the discovery of the Andromeda, its sister ship, locked in orbit sets events in motion that Raine never expected. As the old ships stir to life and dark forces awaken, Raine realizes Straba holds secrets far beyond science, and survival may mean confronting an unimaginable entity born from space itself.
