Ever wonder where you came from? Where it all started? This is the account of four people who start out looking for their ancient past, one of several groups funded by a wealthy politician. They must climb a frozen mountain and hunt for a place called Castle Gods-Cut. 'Cut' was thought to have once meant ‘origin'.What they find is a single door blocked by ice that leads to a huge complex of caves and doors, some deadly, some leading to places that can't possibly exist anywhere on their planet. With the help of a rescued A.I. that thinks she should look like one of an ancient race called humans, events develop that may determine if humanoids of any kind shall be allowed to exist in the galaxy, as they encounter a race of aliens that love people. For snack food that is.
