"Maya Hoshimoto was once the best art
thief in the galaxy. For ten years\, she returned stolen artifacts to ali
en civilizations--until a disastrous job forced her into hiding. Now she j
ust wants to enjoy a quiet life as a graduate student of anthropology\, bu
t she's haunted by persistent and disturbing visions of the future. Then a
n old friend comes to her with a job she can't refuse: find a powerful obj
ect that could save an alien species from extinction. Except no one has se
en it in living memory\, and they aren't the only ones hunting for it. May
a sets out on a breakneck quest through a universe teeming with strange li
fe and ancient ruins. But the farther she goes\, the more her visions cast
a dark shadow over her team of friends new and old. Someone will betray h
er along the way. Worse yet\, in choosing to save one species\, she may co
ndemn humanity and Earth itself.."-- Provided by publisher.
