The first book in the Civilizations Trilogy broke new ground by introducing the protagonists of a civilization like never before. Prepare yourself for a completely new, completely original First Contact. Astronauts Susan and Michael approach an unidentified space object, which developed a close-to-the-Sun trajectory and then moved itself to the far side of our Moon. Upon making contact, Susan goes through a series of relevant events from another planet, crossing from one era to another in company of Michael, who was acting strangely, as if he was part of all of that. Centuries later, Susan no longer feels like a foreigner among that people. In company of Electrons and aboard the Eclipsed Star, she crosses the colossal Continuum Warpers, playing a role in shaping the fate of the galaxy. That is what has happened to Fount, and it is done that way because only in the clarity of whole truth exists the possibility of accepting each other within the limits of what each civilization truly can be.
