Description

Hailed as “one of the most inventive writers that science fiction has ever produced" (SF Site), Stephen Baxter builds on the massive success of Proxima with a career-defining novel of big ideas....

On the planet of Per Ardua, alien artifacts were discovered—hatches that allowed humans to step across light-years of space as if they were stepping into another room. But this newfound freedom has consequences....

As humanity discovers the real nature of the universe, a terrifying truth comes to light. We all have countless pasts converging in this present—and our future is terrifyingly finite. There are minds in the universe that are billions of years old and now we are vulnerable to their plans for us....

It’s time to fight back and take control.

    By John Revels
    This is amazingly written and dense with detail. It stretches the mind and imagination to the breaking point. What is real? Who are we really? What are we? Where are we? Don't read this if you have strong convictions about your place in the universe for they will be challenged. But if you like mind-stretching epochs that melt away your own fantasies about life, this is a fantastic read. I loved it. But then again, I am a bit of a Ronan philosopher. John
