Nearly five thousand years after an alien exploration mission to Earth ends in disaster, the alien Kinley are nearly extinct, faced with annihilation by the warlike Lucien race, and return to Earth hoping to finding their long-lost technology amid the monuments of ancient Egypt. Original.

Reviews

Nearly 3,000 years ago, the humanlike Kinley sent a team to Earth in a ship powered by a probability drive that got it there in mere months. Landing in Egypt, they befriended the local people and kept a low profile. When their craft was destroyed by a tsunami, they awaited rescue in stasis tanks. Back home, the Kinley went to war with the Lucien, inhabitants of a nearby planet. Only a few Kinley survived, living in domed environments to prevent contamination by the radioactive wastes outside. Of the Lucien, only those in asteroid colonies remained. Both peoples are spiritual and intelligent, but reconciliation seems impossible, and fighting continues for hundreds of years. Then the Kinley decide to recover the technology on the Earth survey ship and dispatch two young pilots, who are deeply in love. Learning of the mission, the Lucien send a Lucien male and a human raised from infancy among them to compete fiercely in finding the old ship's engine. Dayton successfully blends suspense, cultural sf, and Chariots of the Gods-like speculation. Roberta Johnson
