F/SF Very good SF about a double planet that is nearing Summertide, a once in 350,000 year tidal event that also portends the resolution to the question ?Who were the Builders and why did they leave all of these artifacts thruout the cosmos?? Book is first of trilogy and end leads the characters to another planet, gas giant Gargantua in the same system to pursue the mystery of the Builders. This is a better-than-average, light, space-opera adventure. While the plot relies on ancient BDOs and intrigues working against each other, the strength of "Summertide" lies in the character development; Sheffield does a good job creating and presenting complex individuals who don't suddenly act out-of-character to suit the storyline. Even the aliens are _alien_ enough to not be just funny-looking humans but still maintain complex backstories and motivations. It's entertaining and intelligent. En el brazo espiral de la Galaxia se han encontrado más de mil doscientos misteriosos y gigantescos artefactos creados por la ignota y ya desaparecida especie de los Constructores. La próxima “Marea Estival” en el sistema planetario formado por los gemelos Sismo y Opalo, ha de ser el fruto de una Gran Conjunción de estrellas y planetas que sólo sucede cada 350.000 años. Los mejores estudiosos de la tecnología de los Constructores coinciden en suponer que será una oportunidad única para desentrañar el misterio de esos sorprendentes artefactos. Por ello, humanos y alienígenas, con sus rencillas y enfrentamientos, se dan cita en el sistema y se exponen a sus peligros. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

It was just before Summertide, when the planet Quake would orbit closest to its sun, subjecting itself to vast tidal forces. It was to be the most violent Summertide ever, creating something that only happened every 350,000 years. Access to the unstable Quake was supposed to be prohibited, but some very insistent travelers were determined to make the trip. Professor Darya Lang, who studied artifacts left by the long-vanished aliens called the Builders, had a hunch that she might find the Builders themselves. And Councilor Julius Graves was hunting murderers. Planetary Administrators Hans Rebka and Max Perry had no choice but to go to Quake, risking their lives to protect the others-and to learn, just maybe, the secret of Summertide and the Builders.
