Defender of Darkness. Book 3. Fresh Wind

Underestimating the enemy drove Mega into an orbital megacity. The same as on the planet, a civilization frozen in its development meets the visitors unwelcomingly. Mega’s interference here too slowly, with a grinding squeal, unspools the spiral of change. The owners turn out not to be owners at all. The priests aren’t at all like members of a cult. Unfathomable ancient technologies still work. Secrets are revealed one after another, but the search for the wife’s parents is not finished yet.
