Book - 2020

"Deep in the heart of an alien mountain range, the supercomputer I.C.C. has lain dormant, its ships alert, for eons, Now, after one hundred thousand years, the AI is awakening. Someone is roaming the convoy's halls - someone that isn't human. The planet, Noumenon - created by the megastructure known as the Web - is too young and brutal to have evolved intelligent life. Its surface is bombarded by unusual meteors, and crystal trees abruptly and violently arise from its bedrock; the solar system itself is surrounded by a frightening space-time anomaly. So where did these visitors come from? What do they want? And do the people of Earth, whose ancestors launched Convoy Seven, know they are here? I.C.C. reaches out to the descend...ants of its convoy crew to help decipher this primordial riddle. Noumenon was created and seeded by ancient aliens, and clearly their plans for it are unfinished. But humanity has been growing and evolving, and the desires of an ancient intelligence are no longer a priority. There are a few, though, who remember their original mission: one of discovery. Together, the AI, the new life-forms who have awakened it, and the curious humans will embark on an epic adventure billions of years in the making"--Publisher. more
