An ancient technology that is the doom to all who discover it.
Something has been monitoring mankind from the fringes of our solar system undetected for millennia, and now in the late 22nd Century, man has finally stumbled across it. A thing that holds the keys to technology that can unlock the means to get to the stars, and a horror that could wipe out all of humanity. As humans vie for control of it...Shemyaza Watches.
Kirkus Review
"As the book opens...tensions rise when Alphonse Zhukov...sends an alien spaceship...crashing to Earth. This event sets the stage for...rebellion against the Solar Empire and motivates a group of Federal Republic "spacemarines,"...to try to take down the UN once and for all. Gradually...both commanders become aware of the puppet masters influencing the course of the war. Okuda does a good job of connecting his story's many layers as they develop across the solar system-tying together the backroom political scheming on both sides of the war with intricate military strategy-leaving readers with a tale that has all the ingredients for a great sci-fi epic..."-June 29th 2011
