They are totally self-sufficient, completely certain that the death wave cannot harm them, and utterly uninterested in helping to save other civilizations, organic or machine.\n\nBut now that the humans have discovered them, they refuse to allow them to leave their planet, reasoning that other humans will inevitably follow if they learn of their existence.\n\nThe Star Quest Trilogy\n#1 Death Wave\n#2 Apes and Angels\n#3 Survival\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tor Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45254249119797,"sku":"ByrdShop_0765379546","price":28.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780765379542_1fc34df9-994a-4294-99da-05581e7edc75.jpg?v=1779956680","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/survival-a-novel-star-quest-trilogy-3-9780765379542","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
