They dispatched an exploration vessel, hoping to find cousins from old Earth.But those ancient terraformers woke something on Nod better left undisturbed.And it's been waiting for them.'Books like this are why we read science fiction' - Ian McDonald, author of the Luna seriesAll underpinned by great ideas.
