Cosmonaut Keep

In Cosmonaut Keep, Ken MacLeod tells the story of humanity's first encounter with an awesome and mysterious alien civilization. Spanning centuries and light years, the novel interweaves two tales of love, intrigue, and courage.

The other tells of his descendant, Gregor Cairns, who has made a home for himself on a distant and exotic alien world many centuries hence.
