Keid
Robert G. Williscroft
A Dyson Sphere under construction by microbots, but the bots are scavenging one part of the sphere to construct another. And where is the civilization that designed this massive project?
"This is cutting edge, hard science fiction at its finest. This broad-minded, far-sweeping saga is both realistic and daring. The reader feels that yes, this is what the universe is like and what man's role in it will come to be." Professor John B. Rosenman, Norfolk State University.
Braxton Thorpe, is on a voyage of discovery in the starship Andromeda, headed toward the Cold Spot in the Cosmic Microwave Background, deep in the constellation of Eridanus. As he approaches the Keid triple-star system, he stops at Keid A and the planet Vulcan, home to Spock in the "Star Trek" series. Keid B & C revolve around each other, and both revolve around Keid A.
Thorpe discovers Vulcan is under attack by robotic scavengers. He follows them to Keid C, where he discovers a Dyson Sphere under construction by microbots scavenging one part of the sphere to construct another. Andromeda explores the sphere, half the size of a solar system. Suddenly, the starship is attacked by the microbots, who see the starship as raw material. After narrowly escaping, smaller spacecraft travel through the immense sphere, studying it and searching for the builders. He discovers several primitive races inside—humanoid, feline, and reptilian. While studying these races, he discovers hidden electronic uploads stemming from the original builders of the gigantic sphere.
As Thorpe begins to assemble a model of the sphere, he learns the Dyson Sphere's star is about to produce a superflare that could destroy all life inside the sphere—and even the Dyson Sphere itself. Can the explorers survive such an event? If so, can they save any of the sapient races, and will they succeed in removing the uploads of the sphere builders?
