Description: Nancy Kress, after a decade of success with the Beggars trilogy, makes a leap into the distant future in space in Probability Moon. Humanity has expanded out into other solar systems using the remnants of an ancient technology of star gates -- instant travel devices left in place by a now-vanished superrace. But now an alien race has also discovered the gates, a race with which no communication is possible, that is determined to exterminate humanity. In this fragile situation, a new planet is discovered, inhabited by a human-like race who always tell the truth, and a team of scientists is sent to contact and study them -- not knowing that their mission is a cover for the military study of the ancient artifact that is a moon of the planet. It isn't long before the killer aliens arrive and the whole powderkeg explodes. Probability Moon is an SF adventure filled with excitement and underpinned by the depth of characterization that is the trademark strength of Nancy Kress.
