Ancient Shores

(HarperPrism, 1996)

Finalist, Nebula Award ®

Tom Lasker discovers, in a North Dakota wheat field, a boat unlike anything he has ever seen. Lasker's wheat field had once been on the shoreline of an inland sea. But that was 10,000 years ago. The boat, however, is only a prelude to a much larger discovery that may open up the universe to a human race that is hardly ready for such a prospect.
