Sci-fi series which I can't REMEMBER

Lourdin · 08-25-2008, 09:14 AM

About a year ago we rented a house on a lake, and there were books there. One of them was this great science fiction book that I read almost in one sitting, but for the life of me I can't remember the name...there were others in the series, and I'd love to read them. I don't have much to go on, but maybe it'll spark someone's memory.

One of the main characters was a female captain of a spaceship, and they were investigating a planet that had very old structures on it from, they believed, some lost society. There was another part of the book where they found a giant asteroid - which turned out to be a massive spacecraft traveling at a high rate of speed - and they had to do all sorts of things to get their ship going fast enough so they could board the thing. It was a giant ship with nobody on it, but with tons of relics from past races, societies, etc. They had to do a daring rescue to get their people off the ship.

Well, that's about all I got. Hopefully it'll be someone's favorite book or something, and they'll remember the name.
