Tricked by her older brother, Belinda leaves her art exhibition and the rest of her life on earth for a planet twenty-two light years away. She takes with her the precious fawn coloured egg he has placed in her care-the last remnant of a once prolific people. When the Aapa discover their hatchings are experiencing childhood, adulthood, middle age and advanced age all in less than a week, their distress call is answered by Earth and the best genetic scientists of the day are dispatched with urgency. The race against time has begun. If they fail in their mission on Xi Aquarii 4 the Aapa civilisation will be lost forever. Discover what lies ahead for Belinda, her brother, Liam, and the Aapa as they witness a new world rising out of the echoes of an ancient people.
