Well, I was trying not to give away any of the plot.

Possible spoilers follow:

The galaxy is dominated by corporations. Corporations will do absolutely 
anything to get one up on other corporations or to prevent corporations 
from getting one up on them.

Little evidence of successful civilizations exists, all seem to have 
destroyed themselves. A 100 meter in diameter silver sphere is 
discovered on a planet being mapped. Skulduggery ensues.
