Angel Stations by Gary Gibson

Description: 'Aeons ago, a super-scientific culture known as ‘Angels’ had left incomprehensible relics all over the galaxy. Among these phenomena were the ‘Stations’, whereby human spacecraft could jump instantly from one part of the galaxy to another. And, using this means, the brilliant Angel technology could be both explored and exploited.

One of these stations orbits the planet Kasper, where the only known sentient species outside humankind has been scrupulously left alone to continue evolving within its own world of primitive ignorance. But an all-consuming cataclysm is sweeping across the galaxy - and suddenly Kasper’s mysterious ‘Citadel’ has become the vital key to repelling the fast-approaching threat. At what cost, though, to its native inhabitants … and to the human residents of the orbiting Angel Station?

Can three individuals - a woman lost in remorse for her dead lover, a reluctant warrior with the power to heal, and an alien priest driven to betray his god – together find a way to halt the inevitable?'
