The two-time Hugo Award-winner expands the universe of his Coyote saga.
The danui, a reclusive arachnid species considered the galaxy's finest
engineers, have avoided contact with the Coyote Federation. Until, that
is, the danui initiate trade negotiations, offering only information:
the coordinates for an unoccupied world suitable for human life--a
massive sphere, composed of billions of hexagons. But when the
Federation's recon mission goes terribly wrong, the humans realize how
little they know about their new partners.
