Mercury Ice: The Seventh Coordinate (Book One)

Mercury Ice pivots around a find of another human civilization on one isolated region on the planet Mercury by a SETI graduate student internist. The discovery is made upon capturing a transmission broadcast issued into space from a Mercury scientist and his young daughter. Communication transpires, interplanetary teen angst and love stories emerge, and government cover-ups all ensue as both civilizations find out a linked history never before imagined.
