Publisher's blurb:
On an alien planet, deep inside an asteroid, or even under the icy layers of Antarctica, a discovery was made. What seemed like a natural cavern lead to something far stranger – a spherical chamber buried deep in the rock with no other entrance than a small crack on its side. How it got there is a total mystery. When a living creature entered the chamber for the first time, perhaps in thousands of years, tiny motes started to glow on the surface of this mysterious vault and thin filaments started to grow out of small holes on shallow oval-shaped recesses.
After an accident or some careful studies, it is found out that this vault can decompose a body – even a dead one – and create a perfect copy of it within a matter of hours. The clone is in perfect health with all previous injuries or sickness healed. All memories and the personality of a person are preserved… or so it would seem.
