In Apes and Angels, the second installment of the monumental Star Quest Trilogy, a human expedition races ahead of the wave to warn a primitive, early-industrial alien society. The rescue mission quickly deteriorates into a profound ethical and survival dilemma as the human crew is forced to decide how far they are willing to go—and how heavily they should interfere—to save a species that doesn't even understand the danger approaching them.
