They, and eighteen other young humans, have been sent by the alien Atoners to distant worlds to observe. To discover the Crime. To see with their own eyes the wrong done to humanity. At first everyone thought it was a joke. Then they thought it was some kind of viral marketing campaign. The ad had appeared on the Internet: "We are an alien race you may call the Atoners. Ten thousand years ago we wronged humanity profoundly. We cannot undo what has been done. But we wish humanity to understand it. Therefor ewe request twenty-one volunteers to visit seven planets to witness for us. We will convey each volunteer there and back in complete safety. Volunteers must speak English. Send requests for electronic applications to witness@atoners.com." A few days later, a huge new installation appeared on the moon. The aliens had arrived. And it seemed that they had been here before. 5293436 17 2 2009 Steal Across the Sky total:85|5:9|4:29|3:37|2:10|1:0| 85 292 186 36 5226164 0765319861 9780765319869 85 36 Steal Across the Sky 3.44 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255897414m/5226164.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5226164.Steal_Across_the_Sky 5 2 false Sat Jan 10 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 16:36:58 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 10 14:16:34 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5226164 0765319861 9780765319869 85 36 Steal Across the Sky 3.44 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255897414m/5226164.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5226164.Steal_Across_the_Sky 5 1 false Tue Feb 10 18:57:41 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 25 19:22:25 -0800 2009 Beggars in Spain, Kress is quite successful with a 'previously unused' concept for SF. ...more...]]> 5226164 0765319861 9780765319869 85 36 Steal Across the Sky 3.44 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255897414m/5226164.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5226164.Steal_Across_the_Sky 4 0 false Fri Feb 27 11:15:46 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 27 11:26:50 -0800 2009 Full review at my blog.
