A team of space archaeologists makes an astonishing discovery about an ancient alien race in this science fiction tale. Graduate student Tom Rice is thrilled to embark on his first deep-space archeological expedition. He is part of a team from Earth, venturing out in search of artifacts from a civilization that ruled the universe many millennia ago. Called the High Ones, the members of this long-gone society left tantalizing clues about their history and culture scattered throughout space. One such clue, a "message cube" containing footage of the ancient ones, is more interesting than all of the others combined. It seems to indicate that the High Ones aren't extinct after all-and just like that, Tom Rice's archeological mission has become an intergalactic manhunt, one filled with ever-increasing danger that will send the explorers hurtling headlong into the greatest adventure-and peril-of their lives.… (mere)

Well that was refreshing. This is a old book written in 1969 and weighing in at a whopping 232 pages (paperback). The length is what was refreshing. It had been awhile since I read a science fiction book that was not at least 2 or 3 times that size. Just enough world building and dialog to keep it interesting but the right size to get the story across.
This is a book set hundreds of years in the future in which the species of the galaxy have been studying the remains of a ancient (billions of years old) civilization who left stuff scattered around. The story is about one such expedition who find and follow something never found before. Good stuff it was I thought.

Los miembros de la expedición vigésimo cuarta que buscan los restos de una civilización misteriosa en el planeta Higby V, descubren que los Superiores (criaturas de elevada inteligencia que navegaban por el espacio cuando el caracol y el cangrejo eran las formas más complejas de vida terrestre) quizá viven todavía en algún rincón de la galaxia. La búsqueda concluye con otro descubrimiento sorprendente y completamente inesperado, que implica a la vez el principio de una nueva era y el término de la odisea del narrador, que, como en la clásica novela de aprendizaje, ha enfrentado, también, vicisitudes comunes a los hombres de todos los tiempos.

This was just ok.

Like a lot of Robert Silverberg's work, the emphasis is on the ideas. But honestly, perhaps we've been spoiled in the fifty years since this was written, because the ideas didn't come across as all that interesting to me. Some golden age science fiction still comes across as mind-blowing and fantastic, but this seems to have lost a lot of its luster.

Like most of the SF from that age, the characters are pretty humdrum and not terribly interesting, and they do betray rather dated societal ideals (you can tell that this was written fifty years ago). ( )

Nice yarn about archaeology - spanning across the galaxy and (read the title) eons of time.

Good world building with multiple species and cultures. A nice standalone story! ( )

I wanted to like this more, but the main character is too annoying. Also, this is the second sci-fi book with telepathy I've read in the last few months... I'm not into it! ( )
