Quake and Opal circle Mandel, itself half of a binary star system. Once every 350,000 years, the second sun, together with the great gas planet Gargantua swing in close enough to form the Grand Conjunction. At this time, land and sea tides sweep Quake on a scale that no human has ever witnessed.
But they are about to. Once Quake and Opal were joined by the great artefact known as the Umbilical, constructed by an ancient race known only as the Builders. At the time of the Grand Conjunction there are these who are drawn by the secrets of the past to Quake and the Umbilical-but why have they come, and what are they in search of?
