Amie Kaufman – Meagan Spooner: Unearthed

When ​Earth intercepts a message from a long-extinct alien race, it seems like the solution the planet has been waiting for. The Undying's advanced technology has the potential to undo environmental damage and turn lives around, and Gaia, their former home planet, is a treasure trove waiting to be uncovered.

For Jules Addison and his fellow scholars, the discovery of an alien culture offers unprecedented opportunity for study… as long as scavengers like Amelia Radcliffe don't loot everything first. Mia and Jules' different reasons for smuggling themselves onto Gaia put them immediately at odds, but after escaping a dangerous confrontation with other scavvers, they form a fragile alliance.

In order to penetrate the Undying temple and reach the tech and information hidden within, the two must decode the ancient race's secrets and survive their traps. But the more they learn about the Undying, the more their presence in the temple seems to be part of a grand design… (tovább)

We will not fade into the dark. We will tell our story to the stars and in this way we will never die — we will Undying. Perhaps only the stars will hear us until we are nothing more than memory. But someday a race will find the power we left behind — and they will be tested, for some things are better left unknown. Some stories left untold. Some words left unsaid.

Some powers left alone.

“You’re making harmonies with an ancient alien temple, Mia,” I murmur, just
to see her look up and flash me a delighted smile.

Once we reach the top, I see it. A huge stone structure juts out of the cliff face
at the end of the valley, its walls curving ever so slightly around in the start of
the Fibonacci spiral it forms from above. I’ve studied every satellite photo of this
temple, imagined myself standing before the huge pillars supporting the entrance
a thousand times in the last few weeks, but nothing prepared me for the reality of
a structure built by an alien species.
This moment feels holy.

I’ve spent my whole life dreaming of this. My father spent most of
his life dreaming of this. A pang shoots through my heart, making my eyes
water. He should be here. With an entire expedition of experts at his back, and
the world holding its breath to see what he would uncover.
I’ll have to feel it for him. I breathe deep, gazing at the temple and letting the
euphoria in. “There’s nowhere left on Earth,” I say, the excitement bubbling up
again, overruling my frustration. “Not the highest mountain, not the remotest
desert, or the deepest trenches of the ocean. Nowhere someone else hasn’t been
first. But this, Mia, this is ours. Everybody else who comes here, they’ll be
walking in our footsteps. We have the privilege of this first glimpse of another
culture. Another species. Another world.”
