In THE ALTERRAN LEGACY SERIES (COLONY EARTH, KHAMLOK, and soon to come RESURRECTION), the ancient people who colonize Earth come from the Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters. The star cluster is best viewed in November from virtually any point on Earth, from dust to dawn, near the constellation Orion. The Pleiades was important to many ancient people. For example, Halloween originates from an old Druid rite that coincided with midnight culmination of the Pleiades cluster. It was believed that the veil dividing the living from the dead is at its thinnest when the Pleaides culminates - reaches its highest point in the sky - at midnight.
