Synopsis



















 Professor Edward Kitchener: a double Nobel Laureate researching quantum cosmology for the Event Horizon conglomerate - but no good to anybody dead and with his lungs spread out on either side of his open chest.

The security system at Launde was premier-grade gear.  But a mercenary could have got through and there were plenty of people anxious to stop his work who would pay the necessary.  But why would a professional waste their time ritually slaughtering their target?

Something doesn't gel.  Was itchener the victim of industrial espionage, personal revenge or of a crime of passion committed by one of his live-wire students?

Event Horizon need to know, and fast, so Greg Mandel, PSI-boosted ex-private eye, is enticed out of retirement to find himself on a convoluted trail that ends in a confrontation with a past which, according to Kitchener's theories, might never have happened.
 

 
Review



 'Peter Hamilton manages a very neat trick, combining deft scientific and social speculation with the page turning appeal of the best thrillers'

Horsehead Nebula
The Horsehead Nebula, embedded in the vast and complex Orion Nebula, is seen in this representative-color image from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope in Hawaii. The dark molecular cloud, roughly 1,500 light years distant, is visible only because its obscuring dust is silhouetted against another, brighter nebula. The prominent horse head portion of the nebula is really just part of a larger cloud of dust which can be seen extending toward the bottom of the picture.
