That sounds similar to a sub-plot in Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Very interesting book!

I've never heard of it, but I'm on the lookout for a new sci-fi read, so I think I'll get it! Thanks!

Don't read it if you're terrified of spiders. Otherwise, it's a great book.

I hate spiders but I was able to get past it for this series. That and A Deepness in the Sky.
