About this product

Product Information

"An imaginative and stunning tale of the perfect future threatened . . . a book of epic proportions not unlike Frank Herbert's Dune or Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy."-- SFRevu The year is 2380. The Intersolar Commonwealth, a sphere of stars, contains more than six hundred worlds interconnected by a web of transport "tunnels" known as wormholes. At the farthest edge of the Commonwealth, astronomer Dudley Bose observes the impossible: over one thousand light-years away, a star . . . disappears. Since the location is too distant to reach by wormhole, the Second Chance, a faster-than-light starship commanded by Wilson Kime, a five-times-rejuvenated ex-NASA pilot, is dispatched to learn what has occurred and whether it represents a threat. Opposed to the mission are the Guardians of Selfhood, led by Bradley Johansson. Shortly after the journey begins, Kime wonders if the crew of the Second Chance has been infiltrated. But soon enough he will have other worries. Halfway across the galaxy, something truly incredible is waiting: a deadly discovery whose unleashing will threaten to destroy the Commonwealth . . . and humanity itself. "Should be high on everyone's reading list . . . You won't be able to put it down."--Nancy Pearl, NPR "Recommended . . . A large cast of characters, each with his own story, brings depth and variety to this far-future saga."-- Library Journal

  • Sweeping space adventure

    If you are into long sweeping space adventures this is your kind of book. The story centers on the future of the human race as it expands throughout the galaxy. When an astronomer witnesses a star (Dyson Alpha) suddenly blanking out the entire Commonwealth is at odds to explain this event. Then another star (Dyson Beta) blinks out as well. They all agree this cannot be a natural event and that a team must be sent to discover what happened to these stars. Along the way the lives of many people are effected by what is discovered at the Dyson pair and a conspiracy unfolds that sends the entire Commonwealth into chaos and war. This book is huge. It is over 750 pages and continues into the next book which is titled Judas Unchained. It is a very good book and I would have ranked it higher ...

  • It's a book

    It's a book. It's something you put in your hands to read and it has two sides. It has letters and numbers and sometimes pictures that you can see and decipher. It helps your eyes go from side to side. Subject wise it's a Science Fiction book.
