Publisher's Summary

Long before the world of the Ganymeans blew apart millennia ago, the strange race of giants had already vanished. All that remained of them was a wrecked ship abandoned on a frozen moon of Jupiter. Now Earth’s scientists are there, determined to ferret out the secret of the lost race. But when suddenly the Ganymeans return, they bring with them answers that will reveal the secret of our own as well.

What the critics say

"Scientists’ efforts to uncover the unexpected genetic link between Terran and Minervan life is aided by the equally unexpected reappearance of a Minervan ship. Interesting reading for sf enthusiasts and for those who enjoy a methodical analysis of a complex theory." ( Kliatt)

Amazing second book in the series

Finished it in under a day, an excellent follow up to the first book and a great addition to the theme of first contact type science fiction series. Highly recommended.

Book 2

This book goes through some nice twists and turns and keeps you guessing even though the story is simple and some what predictable. Some pop culture references gave up its age and once again lacked female characters but I guess that was normal for the period. Enjoyed the monotone style of the narration. Definitely worth a listen.
