#Summertide by #CharlesSheffield. This is, in a lot of ways, a fairly unexeceptional 90s science fiction book. It’s out of print, no ebook available. Characters are pretty flat, and the story doesn’t go much of anywhere.

BUT

If ancient alien megastructures are your thing—they are very much my thing—this book is your happy place. Pure uncut Big Dumb Object porn. Just A+ perfection in that extremely particular niche.
