And it was to be the most violent Summertide ever  due to the Grand Conjunction of the systems stars and planets  something that happened only every 350 000 years. Access to the unstable Quake was supposed to be prohibited  but some very insistent travelers were determined to make the trip. Professor Darya Lang  who had made a career studying artifacts left by the long-vanished aliens called the Builders  had a hunch that during this unusal Summertide she might find the Builders themselves. Louis Nenda and the Cecropian Atvar Hsial had their own interests in Quake  and would do anything to get there. And Councilor Julius Graves was hunting murderers -- if they were hiding on Quake  he needed no ones permission to search for them. Planetary Administrators Hans Rebka and Max Perry had no choice but to go to Quake themselves -- risking their lives to protect the others -- and to learn  just maybe  the secret of Summertide and the Builders . . . \"A well-made puzzle story in the manner of Arthur C. Clarkes Rama books.\" -- The New York Times\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647978102837,"sku":"ByrdShop_0345369378","price":21.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780345369376.jpg?v=1781700583","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/summertide-the-heritage-universe-9780345369376","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
