From the New York Times best-selling author duo Amie Kaufman and
Meagan Spooner comes a "literally breathtaking" new sci-fi series about
a death-defying mission on an alien planet. Now in paperback!
When Earth intercepts a message from a long-extinct alien race, it seems
like the solution humanity has been waiting for. The Undying's advanced
technology has the potential to undo environmental damage and turn lives
around, and their message leads to the planet Gaia, a treasure trove
waiting to be explored.
For Jules Addison and his fellow scholars, the discovery of an ancient
alien culture offers unprecedented opportunity for study . . . as long
as scavengers like Amelia Radcliffe don't loot everything first. Despite
their opposing reasons for smuggling themselves onto the alien planet's
surface, they're both desperate to uncover the riches hidden in the
Undying temples. Beset by rival scavenger gangs, Jules and Mia form a
fragile alliance . . . but both are keeping secrets that make trust
nearly impossible.
As they race to decode the ancient messages, Jules and Mia must navigate
the traps and trials within the Undying temples and stay one step ahead
of the scavvers on their heels. They came to Gaia certain that they had
far more to fear from their fellow humans than the ancient beings whose
mysteries they're trying to unravel. But the more they learn about the
Undying, the more Jules and Mia start to feel like their presence in the
temple is part of a grand design -- one that could spell the end of the
human race . . .
