Publisher's summary
Bernice has dragged her assistant Gavin away from his home planet's winter celebrations to help with an archaeological expedition to the mysterious planet Telway. But as the team dig in the dust, it seems that something sinister is stirring in the dark reaches of space...
Plot
On an orbital platform above the uninhabited planet Telway, Benny coordinates an archaeological mission funded by Magion. They have been promised a bonus if they get a breakthrough at all of the locations at the same time, so Benny's research assistant, Gavin, has Gwen move Perce and Argie to another team on the planet's surface. As it is Christmas, Gavin gets Benny some spiced synthahol.
Gwen and Dr Baldwin's teams find devices transmitting into space and Gavin's tests reveal that the snow is actually bone, solving the mystery of where the missing Telwayns are. The readings show that the devices are identical and Gavin sends them to the other sites so that they know what they are looking for, assuming that the same devices will be found there, and Benny becomes suspicious of Magion's motives. When another team finds a third device, Benny tells Perce to cover it up, but it protects itself with a force field.
