"I am no one. I pass from dark into dark. I hunt a track gone cold as stone." For five thousand Earthyears, the planet called Nevermore has been empty. Its cities are deserted, with every trace of their inhabitants erased. Only a handful of nomadic tribes remain, none of whom remember the ones who went before.

Now the expedition is in trouble, its funding cut; unless it makes a major discovery, and soon, it will be shut down. Then the...
