A corporate ship's complicated business venture involves the experimental use of new technology to scoop a sample from the core of a neutron star. The discovery of a dead civilization on a nearby solar system serves as a fascinating distraction. The same can't be said for the alien spaceship circling around them. Becoming the first expedition from Earth to encounter extraterrestrial life is not on the agenda-and the crewmembers find themselves out of their depth. Treading a fine line between diplomacy and danger, the chief executive officer of the mission-a man of Sioux ancestry-decides to open up lines of communication with the aliens. And though they may be more advanced than humanity, the aliens' account of past actions calls to mind a dark age in human history, one that the CEO will make sure is never repeated. Not on his watch . . . "With this story, Silverberg proves he knows his science and is willing to do a story grounded in hard sf." -MarzAat Praise for Robert Silverberg and his short stories "When Silverberg is at the top of his form, no one is better." -George R. R. Martin, #1 New York Times–bestselling author "Silverberg's creative story premises are matched by a remarkable ability to make his characters sympathetic, whether human or not." -Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Decades after being originally published, most of these stories are still just as entertaining and powerful as they were when first released. A singularly unique collection." -Kirkus Reviews [url] => https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/16012818 [pa] => [subtitle] => A Short Story [publisher] => Open Road Media [purchaseModel] => INSTANT )
