La paja en el ojo de Dios

A.D. 3017 Although the Second Empire of Man encompasses hundreds of solar systems, other intelligent beings have not yet been contacted. The discovery of an unusual spacecraft with the lifeless body of an alien inside will lead humans to a distant star immersed in a dense cloud of stardust: the Straw. An expedition will discover an ancient civilization there, friendly and hospitable, but who refuses to speak of certain aspects of their society. And it is that under the reassuring smiles, the Moties hide a planetary secret of universal and devastating impact. Composed of four hands in perfect harmony, this novel combines action, drama, suspense, technology and plausible aliens, politics and violence. Its extraordinary power of entertainment and surprise has made it a true cult work.
