Just finished "Summertide" by Charles Sheffield, which I bought from Baen a very long time ago. This is the first half of the "Convergent Series" omnibus, and the first book in the "Heritage" series.
Humanity has colonised the galaxy, and found it littered with gigantic and mysterious artefacts built - and abandoned - millions of years ago by a mysterious race dubbed "The Builders". Dr Darya Lang, an expert on Builder Artefacts, travels to a star system where her calculations suggest that an event related to the Builders may be about to happen, but she's not the only one to go there, and not everyone's motives are academic.
Good book in a good series. Unfortunately Baen no longer seem to have the rights to sell Charles Sheffield's books, although people who bought them previously (as I did) can still download them. A great pity - he's one of my favourite authors.
