Gemini God

"The human race is in decline, is withdrawing into protective city shells. Could contact with civilized aliens revive the probing curiousity once the hallmark of human achievement? Are there any such beings in the Universe? If there are, can they be contacted? The beginnings of an answer, oddly enough, begin to form when Alex Craven sets out in search of his girlfriend Nicole and finds her working in the marshlands of the Angles. Reluctantly he becomes involved in her work. She is experimenting with empathic communication between twins. Eventually, accompanied by one of two particularly gifted twins, he leaves Earth for New Carthage. In that strange world a shadow-line civilization is in perpetual slow motion to avoid the intolerabe daytime heat. But what lies beyond the shadow line? There are primitive aliens - evasive and nomadic - driven by some irresistible compulsion towards a particular place at a particular time. And at that place and at that time the novel reaches its stunning climax when Alexander's experiment succeeds - and succeeds unimaginably." Provided by Publisher.
