Digging in space - Fredrik Gustavsson - Bog

Pip is living a quiet life as an excavation leader in Scottish archaeology. He is a trusted friend and a talented professional who has been digging through the soil in the pursuit of knowledge for over twenty years. And while there are no major problems in Pip’s life, he’s just a tad bored…
Then enters Jacki – a woman who represents an extraordinary alien race capable of interstellar travel. She is proposing a job that would take Pip and his select few to a distant planet, thousands of light-years from Earth. A planet that is inhospitable to humans. A planet that is desolate and that has been void of life for millennia as its old inhabitants took to the stars and never looked back – until now!
The obstacles are monolithic, and while Pip and his crew have the know-how and the alien technology to match the challenges of the dig, they may fall short of other perils that this dead world has to offer. Digging in Space is written by professional field-archaeologist, and lifelong sci-fi enthusiast, Fredrik Gustavsson. It is science-fiction with strong elements of realism. And while it takes a professional archaeologist to write this book it does not take one to enjoy it!
