description: When Eve Pennington, Professor of History of Science on business in England, buys a nineteenth century journal at a London book auction on a whim because it is about Nantucket, where her life changed as a teenager, the mystery begins. And like Sherlock Holmes (and with the help of a loyal young bookman as her Watson), Eve determines to keep the journal that a number of important people seem to want desperately enough to steal and find out why they want it.And in reading the journal, Eve finds the seeds of a very great mystery indeed. For perhaps more than two hundred years ago, several alien beings landed on earth in the oceans. One or more of them may have died, but Eve determines that two of them were located off the coast of Scotland and near a tiny island off Nantucket, and, further, that these two have been influencing nearby human beings in strange and sometimes wonderful ways. Perhaps, even Eve.
