Sleeping Gods

Since we first looked at the stars, there have been no signs of alien life, no one who has tried to speak to us, a mystery that a long-dead scientist called the Fermi Paradox. "Where are they?"In 2118 the first daring mission to another star, Tau Ceti, twelve light-years away is launched. Tom Hites and Harry Cosgrove command the starship Endeavour on an epic journey to solve the Fermi Paradox. From the first, nearly disastrous steps on a distant world, their quest takes them further than they ever imagined. Out amidst the mysterious long-abandoned worlds and ancient relics they discover, some strange, some wonderful and some deadly, that question they seek to answer becomes:"Where are they now?"

The sparsely populated moon, Io, is destroyed in a terrorist attack. Hundreds are dead in the cataclysmic explosion. Thousands become refugees as the shattered remnants of the moon threaten the Jupiter Alliance. Billions throughout the Solar System are wondering, Where next? Those responsible must be found and brought to justice. The explorer ship, Erebus, is reassigned from its mission and sent to Jupiter to investigate this atrocity with Trent's international team onboard. And what Trent discovers, amongst the relics of the alien Sleeping Gods, will change humanity's place in the universe forever.
