Publisher's Summary
During a war between two planets in the same solar system - each occupied
by adapted humans - what is thought to be a cosmic superstring is discovered.
After being cut, this object collapses into four cylindrical pieces,
each about the size of a tube train. Each is densely packed with either
alien technology or some kind of life. They are placed for safety in
three ozark cylinders of a massively secure space station. There a female
research scientist subsequently falls pregnant, and gives birth to quads.
Then she commits suicide - but why? By the end of the war one of the
contesting planets has been devastated by the hilldiggers - giant space
dreadnoughts employing weapons capable of creating mountain ranges.
The quads have meanwhile grown up and are assuming positions of power
in the post-war society. One of them will eventually gain control of
the awesome hilldiggers....
