Description

Kin Arad, a high-ranking official of the Company, has spent twenty-one decades living and working. With the help of memory surgery, she is at the top of her profession. However, two employees' discovery of a fossilized plesiosaur in the wrong stratum, along with a placard reading 'End Nuclear Testing Now', raises an eyebrow. But it's not until the finding of a flat earth that Kin Arad's interest is genuinely piqued. A high-spirited youth has left its mark on Kin Arad, who built a mountain range in her own initials during her time with the Company. The discovery of something new, however, brings a sense of intrigue to this experienced official. This book presents an intriguing exploration of the universe and our place within it.
