From the back cover: In the far future, humanity began to search the stars, sending out vast spaceships that would take generations to reach their goals. In the depths of space they encountered the Ildiran empire - apparently the galaxy's only other intelligent civilization. The Ildirans came to Earth and passed on the knowledge of their stardrive, allowing humanity to expand to the stars. Almost two hundred years after that first contact, human colonies proliferate throughout the galaxy. But as Mankind prepares to seize the future, danger comes from the past, as two human archaeologists glean forbidden knowledge from the ruins of a dead world. Once, the insect-like Klikiss ruled the stars. Now, only their robot servants remain, guardians of a terrible technology - the Klikiss Torch, which has the power to create suns. Humanity prepares to flex its new found muscle and activate the Torch for the first time in millennia, but there are reasons the Klikiss empire fell, and a train of events is about to be set in motion that will change the universe for ever...

With the help of a kind courier, this book is looking for a new reader. Happy reading!

I got the book via Sakirmo to be released at Finncon in July, but I'd really like to read this series! I have read this first part ages ago and I have not had a chance to read the rest - until now. So I decided to keep these books for a while; I will release them in some future sf event after I have read them. :-)

It took me awhile to read this, as the font is so small and it's a thick book. But now I finished re-reading the first part. It was entertaining enough, although there were some stuff that irritated me.

The book will be released at Finncon in Jyväskylä. Happy reading!
