      About This Book

      Humans call them the Monument-Makers. An unknown race, they left stunning alien statues on distant planets in the galaxy. Each relic -- is different. Each inscription defies translation. Yet all are heartbreakingly beautiful.

      And for planet Earth, on the brink of disaster, they may hold the only key to survival for the entire human race.
