1 post | 2 read | 4 to read
L to R (Western Style). The mysterious Builders have brought humanity to the edge of extinction; can they be reasoned with, or must they be destroyed? Aki Shiraishi is a high school student working in the astronomy club and one of the few witnesses to an amazing event--someone is building a tower on the planet Mercury. Soon, the Builders have constructed a ring around the sun, threatening the ecology of Earth with an immense shadow. Aki is inspired to pursue a career in science, and the truth. She must determine the purpose of the ring and the plans of its creators, as the survival of both species--humanity and the alien Builders--hangs in the balance.

For all those sci fi fans who love hearing about Dyson Spheres what a dream come true if aliens decided to build one around our sun! Except for the fact it would kill us all. A very interesting take on how humans would interact with alien species in a bit more of a realistic experience. Squidapus thought that the actual writing was workmanlike but the concepts and plot kept the novel very engaging and quick to read. Midway between soft/hard sci fi
