Synopsis
|
In a
newborn
twenty-first
century, tunnels
through space-time
have connected our
planet with
hitherto
unimagined
alternate
universes.
The genius minds
working at the
Superconducting
Super Collider (SSC)
project - a
fifty-three-mile-long
underground
particle
accelerator -
George Griffin and
Roger Coulton have
realized their
greatest dream,
and novelist Alice
Lancaster is there
to witness their
triumph.
Reaching out into
the vast cosmos,
Griffin and
Coulton have
finally made
contact. But
with whom?
Or rather ... with
what? For
their message has
been received by
an ancient,
hostile entity
that combs the
many universes
searching for
knowledge and life
to absorb and
annihilate.
And now the entity
has locked onto a
faint, persisting
signal emanating
from a distant,
uncommonly fertile
feeding ground ...
called Earth. |

Review
|
"A
major new science
fiction
talent. John
Cramer knows
science, and
people. He
possesses to a
phenomenal degree
the wit,
ingenuity, and
soaring
imagination all of
us hope for."
Gene Wolfe
"A
fast-paced
insider's view of
how high-energy
physics actually
works ... Couldn't
put it down!"
Gregory Benford |
