Book Description
================
It was just before Summertide, when the planet Quake would orbit closest 
to its sun, subjecting itself to vast tidal forces. It was to be the 
most violent Summertide ever, creating something that only happened 
every 350,000 years.Access to the unstable Quake was supposed to be 
prohibited, but some very insistent travelers were determined to make 
the trip. Professor Darya Lang, who studied artifacts left by the long-vanished 
aliens called the Builders, had a hunch that she might find the Builders 
themselves. And Councilor Julius Graves was hunting murderers. Planetary 
Administrators Hans Rebka and Max Perry had no choice but to go to Quake, 
risking their lives to protect the others—and to learn, just maybe, 
the secret of Summertide and the Builders.
