Publisher Description
The Humals. Humanoid Aliens. They dominated the spiral arm millennia ago then vanished without trace. Man had found traces of their presence, reverse-engineered their technology and speculated endlessly about their demise. But no one really knew what had happened. No one knew why they had disappeared or why so few traces of them remained.
For James Hamilton the Humals were not something he concerned himself about. Not, that is, until a billionaire philanthropist seeks him out with a proposition he can't ignore.
It started out as the offer of a lifetime. A way to finally end all his financial concerns and to do something good for humanity into the bargain. But as Hamilton was well aware, if something sounds too good to be true then it usually means trouble.
Suspicious, Hamilton fears the worst and plans accordingly but even he is unprepared for the events that will follow. With precious few allies and more questions than answers, Hamilton must desperately try to piece together the clues in order to understand what is going on before it is too late.
For what starts out as a journey for the betterment of mankind may well sow the seeds of its destruction.

Great first book
Very enjoyable read. For a first book this is a great effort. Characters are likeable and well fleshed out. Plot moves from one gripping incident to another with a good pace. Well done can't wait to read more from you. Maybe more from this universe? Would love to see what happens next.
Excellent
I downloaded this as the synopsis sounded good and i was not disappointed. I admit that i was a bit put off when i read it was his first book and he had spellchecked it himself, but he is a very talented storyteller and I will buy any of his future works! Story flows well and the characters are likeable. Well recommended.
I liked this!
I understand from the author's notes that this is his first published novel. I would like to say that for a first effort it is really good. The story line leads you from one exciting moment to the next and keeps you reading, just one more page, and another....
Can't wait for the next book to be published. Thank you Robert E. Taylor.
