Second Coming — David Sakmyster

In a distant solar system beset by civil war, an archaeologist and a band of scientists, thieves and psychics decode ancient myths and discover hidden artifacts that reveal the suppressed history of their embattled planets - and the truth of an impending cosmic catastrophe that will destroy both worlds unless they can find a way to unite against the common threat.
