Pip is living a quiet life as an excavation leader in Scottish archaeology. He is a trusted friend and a talented professional who has been digging through the soil in the pursuit of knowledge for over twenty years. And while there are no major problems in Pip’s life, he’s just a tad bored…
Then enters Jacki – a woman who represents an extraordinary alien race capable of interstellar travel. She is proposing a job that would take Pip and his select few to a distant planet, thousands of light-years from Earth. A planet that is inhospitable to humans. A planet that is desolate and that has been void of life for millennia as its old inhabitants took to the stars and never looked back – until now!
The obstacles are monolithic, and while Pip and his crew have the know-how and the alien technology to match the challenges of the dig, they may fall short of other perils that this dead world has to offer.
