Splintered Suns
Autor Michael Cobleyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 dec 2018
A
speed
of
light
space
adventure
novel
of
a
treasure
hunt
that
could
unlock
all
the
wonders
of
a
vast
and
advanced
civilization's
lost
technologies.
For
Pyke
and
his
crew
it
should
have
been
just
another
heist.
Travel
to
a
backwater
desert
planet,
break
into
a
museum,
steal
a
tracking
device
then
use
it
to
find
a
ship
buried
in
the
planet's
vast
and
trackless
sandy
wastes.
Except
that
the
museum
vault
is
a
bio-engineered
chamber,
and
the
tracking
device
is
sought-after
by
another
gang
of
treasure
hunters
led
by
an
old
adversary
of
Pyke's,
the
devious
Raven
Kaligara.
Also,
the
ship
is
quarter
of
a
million
years
old
and
about
two
kilometres
long
and
somewhere
aboard
it
is
the
Essavyr
Key,
a
relic
to
unlock
all
the
treasures
and
technologies
of
a
lost
civilisation
.
