Scientific curiosity and grief over the accidental death of their leader take Hutch and the remains of the team to the edge of the galaxy. These cities, composed only of right angles, appear with regularity throughout the galaxy all show signs of having been subjected to massive destructive forces. Though untrained in archaeology, she's the one who first sees connections between the spectacular monuments left on various worlds and the peculiar, massive false cities made of solid cubes of rock. Priscilla ``Hutch'' Hutchins serves as pilot for one of the teams. Coming from a planet whose population has outgrown its resources, these archaeological teams must race to finish their work before colonists from Earth are sent to occupy these worlds. Teams of linguists, historians, and engineers are excavating ruins on a number of planets in search of clues about the Monument-Makers, whose civilization was leaving its mark on distant worlds when our ancestors were inventing the wheel. In the early years of the 23rd century, archaeology has expanded to the stars.
