Publisher's Synopsis
The Search for Tomorrow's Treasures invites you aboard the starship Aries to share in the thrilling journey of three beautiful surveyors and their mischievous computer sidekicks. This space adventure is akin to the writings of Anne McCaffrey.
Captain Beth Griffin enjoys cataloging the great curiosities of space. A binary star system creates celestial music and a nebula cluster paints shifting masterpieces with elemental dust. Beth is initially reluctant when Axel, her mobile quantum navigator, interrupts her with news of a rogue planet displaying intriguing stone formations. That is, until she realizes that the stone formations are perfect copies of the Egyptian pyramids and the planet doesn't belong in the dying dwarf system. She's stumbled upon an alien museum recording the great achievements of sentient races and its historian, Goren is strangely familiar. He reveals that her value is not limited to protecting her planetary teams already working on Citron and Sentara. Beth must decide whether to follow this mysterious alien or continue her mission as is. Unfortunately her planetary leaders, Christine and Rose are already in great danger.
Commander Christine Solski lands on Citron with great expectations of a bountiful survey. The planetary rings are blocks of faceted minerals, the largest mountain range is huge polish crystals, and at night when the sun goes down the oceans and landscapes glow with gemstone dust. Even the animals have jewel adaptations. But Andre, her new husband, wants her position and power to rule Citron. Fortunately Christine has untapped inner resources and the planet has a few secrets that Andre didn't factor into his schemes.
Rose Cavanagh and her best friend and co-leader Amy Chen are as different as they are loyal to each other. With their motley band of eccentric surveyors, they arrive on the tropical island paradise called Sentara with all their defenses down. The humanoid natives want help colonizing this planet and Rose's team is there to survey its compatibility with Earth. But the true natives of Sentara have given these humanoid imposters the power to take what they want and Rose's team is at the top of their list.
