Book description
Do you dream of a city at the end of time? In a time like the present,
on a world that may or may not be our own, three young people-Ginny,
Jack, and Daniel-dream of a fabulous, decadent city in the distant
future: the Kalpa. The dreams of Ginny and Jack overtake them without
warning, leaving their bodies behind while carrying their
consciousnesses forward, into the minds of two inhabitants of the
Kalpa-a would-be warrior, Jebrassy, and an inquisitive explorer,
Tiadba-who have been genetically retroengineered to possess qualities of
ancient humanity. In turn, the dreams of Tiadba and Jebrassy carry them
back, into the minds of Jack and Ginny. They can save the future, but
they are being hunted down. Greg Bear is the author of more than
