What you know
Book 3: Death's End
- Ch 66The Star-Pluckers pluck their star to broadcast primitive membrane messages; they lack the hiding instinct, and live on one of four solid planets of a star with eight planets.
- Ch 66The Star-Pluckers' world lies only 416 structures from the dead three-star world, so exposing one world exposed the other.
- Ch 66Nine time grains after their three communications, the Star-Pluckers broadcast a set of coordinates, which pointed at a star already cleansed about thirty-five time grains earlier.
