    About this ebook

    2040: Ruins of ancient civilization uncovered on Mars reveal startling truths about the creation of humankind.

    2042: In the gray dust of the Earth's Moon, an extinct enslaving race left behind more answers, more questions...and a grim warning.

    2067: As Earth's warring factions clash in space for scraps of alien technology, a strange artifact lies trapped beneath the ice-locked oceans of Europa: a machine that holds the key to the final human destiny.

    It is called "The Singer" for the eerie tone it emits.An artificial intelligence built eons ago, it may ultimately solve the mystery of the vanished alien races responsible for the birth and development of humanity. But after decades of war, the hostile nations of Earth care more for power than for knowledge. And now all that stands between the coveted Al and an all-out Chinese assault is a vastly outnumbered contingent of U.S. marines, dug in beneath the baleful red eye of Jupiter. As terrifying events light years distant begin to converge---with confrontation imminent and annihilation inevitable---a secret history of creation and doom must at long last be contended with...if humankind is to finally claim its glorious heritage among the stars.2040: Ruins of ancient civilization uncovered on Mars reveal startling truths about the creation of humankind.

    • 4/5
      Not as good as the 1st 2 books, but still a good read.
    • 4/5
      Book three of the first trilogy of Ian Douglas opens with a discovery on one of Jupiter’s moons of an alien ship that is still attempting to communicate. This ship on the desolate moon of Europa becomes the focal point of a desperate battle between a small force of Marines and the Chinese army. Once again Mr. Douglas delivers an action packed book with well developed characters and a plausible story line all based in the future.
