More or less a direct sequel to ''Literature/InhabitedIsland''. Maxim, now older and more cynical, is assigned to track down a progressor named Leo Abalkin who may be [[LostSuperweapon an instrument]] of the [[{{Precursors}} Wanderers']] plot. While his boss views the progressor as a threat, our hero becomes increasingly ambivalent.

* HomeworldEvacuation: The scientists suspect (with good reasons) that this is what the Wanderers did to the natives of Hope.
** However, their motivations are entirely unclear. As is par for the course whenever the Wanderers are supposed to be involved in something in the Noon Universe, quite a few of the scientists and virtually all of the COMCON-2 (the agency Maxim is a member of) representatives believe that the truth about the evacuation is much darker - although there is no hard evidence for that. On the other hand, the section describing the mission to Hope is written in a mildly horroresque style: the whole planet seems to be a rather weird place with things that should not have occured like that or even be there. This is possibly due to the Wanderers' involvement.
