In the silence of space they could communicate, mind-to-mind, with the enemy. Then their alien aggressors, the Architects, simply disappeared--and Idris and his kind became obsolete. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow, fifty years later, Idris and his crew have discovered something strange abandoned in space.
