The Xenologist (Revised Edition - Book 1 of the Architects' Universe)
By Michael Joseph Dutton
In the ruins of a forgotten world, dead men do tell tales.
When Dr Julian Voss, xenoarchaeologist and reluctant public figure, is dispatched to a scorched, ultraviolet-seared planet, his team uncovers more than dust and decay. Beneath the arid escarpments lies the legacy of a vanished race: known only as 'The Architects'.
Towering cities of impossible geometry. Glyphs that speak in molecular language and a Device that should not exist.
Who were the Architects, and why did they disappear? Humanity, curious, has to know, and Voss and his team slowly unpick the secrets. But Curiosity killed the cat!
As war looms above and madness spreads below, one question burns brightest:
What happens when humanity learns what it was never meant to know?
A standalone book in a forthcoming Universe of the near future.
Perfect for fans of Adrian Tchaikovsky, Cixin Liu and Peter F. Hamilton, Jonathan Maberry's Nekrotek. The Xenologist is a cerebral, cinematic debut that fuses hard science fiction with archaeological mystery.
