On the world they called Nod, scientists discovered alien life - but it was their mission to overwrite it with the memory of Earth. Then humanity's great empire fell, and the program's decisions were lost to time.<br />Aeons later, humanity and its new spider allies detected fragmentary radio signals between the stars. They dispatched an exploration vessel, hoping to find cousins from old Earth.<br />But those ancient terraformers woke something on Nod better left undisturbed.<br />And it's been waiting for them.For more from Adrian Tchaikovsky, check out:<br /><i>Children of Time</i><br />
