Synopsis








Rob Merlin was the builder of the world's largest bridge - the best engineer who had ever lived - and Darius Regulo had to have him.

For what Regulo had in mind was a project that would dwarf everything that had gone before, something that would make the greatest of man's achievements seem insignificant: a bridge between Earth and space - a beanstalk that mankind could climb to the stars.

 

 

Review




The Web Between the Worlds is a breathtaking novel of a vision that could become reality, by the author Publishers Weekly described as 'one of the most imaginative, exciting talents to appear on the Science Fiction scene in recent years'.
