It was right before Summertide, the time when the twin planets, Opal and Quake, would orbit closest to their sun, subjecting both -- but Quake in particular -- to vast tidal forces. And it was to be the most violent Summertide ever, because of the Grand Conjunction of the system's stars and planets, something that happened only every 350,000 years.
Access to the unstable Quake was said to be prohibited, however, many very insistent travelers were determined to make the trip. Professor Darya Lang, who had made a career studying artifacts left by the long-vanished aliens called the Builders, had a hunch that during this unusal Summertide she will dsicover the Builders themselves. Louis Nenda and the Cecropian Atvar H'sial had their own interests in Quake, and would do anything to make it happen. And Councilor Julius Graves was hunting murderers -- if they were hiding on Quake, he needed no one's permission to find them.
Planetary Administrators Hans Rebka and Max Perry had no choice but to go to Quake themselves -- risking their lives to safeguard the others -- and also to learn, just maybe, the trick of Summertide and the Builders . . .
