O resumo (extenso) em Wikipedia do primeiro livro, Os motores de Deus é resumido como:
Xeno-archaeologists, and interstellar pilot Priscilla Hutchins [Hutch], attempt to unravel the mysteries surrounding tremendous monuments left near several habitable worlds in the solar neighborhood.
Inclui também esta linha:
At one point it appeared as if they would run out of air before rescue arrived, but Hutch managed to remedy the problem at the last minute.
E termina com:
The implications were that the Omega clouds menace the entire galaxy, and the only way to escape them is to leave the galaxy entirely. In fact, the cycle of the clouds meant that they would be upon Earth in just 1,000 years.
O único que eu li é Deepsix onde Hutch visita uma colisão planetária, então fica preso no planeta terrestre.
O resumo para Odyssey inclui esta citação:
It is set in the 23rd century and "explores the immorality of big business and the short-sightedness of the American government in minimizing support for space travel."
Da mesma forma, Caldeirão começa com
Humanity now generally disregards spaceflight, and space exploration is in massive decline.
