When one of her probes returns with the unprecedented proof of an ancient alien artifact on the surface of Venus she cannot believe her luck. This is the first evidence that humanity is not alone, and the discovery will surely secure the research colony’s future./divDIV /divDIVAs Helen and her team investigate the strange new find, they learn that humanity is not the only species with its eye on the planet.
