Life Probe by Michael McCollum 1983, Stated First Edition, Dell Rey/Ballantine Before Man's ancestors began to walk upright, the Maker civilization was already ancient. When Man first used fire, the Makers had been searching through space for millenia. Then, after a 10,000-year journey, a Make Life Proble blundered across twenty-first century Earth?and eons of Maker science would soon be Man's for the asking. All Earth had to do was repair the Probe. But first both Earth and the Probe had to survive a war. All pages in unmarked condition. Some wear to cover including light creasing and some chipping to edges, some rubbing to back cover near spine.
