Book description
Multiple Nebula and Hugo Award-winner Greg Bear returns to the Earth of
his acclaimed novel Eon-a world devastated by nuclear war. The crew of
the asteroid-starship Thistledown has thwarted an attack by the Jarts by
severing their link to the Way, an endless corridor that spans
universes. The asteroid settled into orbit around Earth and the tunnel
snaked away, forming a contained universe of its own. Forty years later,
on Gaia, Rhita Vaskayza recklessly pursues her legacy, seeking an Earth
once again threatened by forces from within and without. For physicist
Konrad Korzenowski, murdered for creating The Way, and resurrected, is
compelled by a faction determined to see it opened once more. And
humankind will discover just how entirely they have underestimated their
ancient adversaries. Greg Bear is one of the world's leading hard SF
authors. He sold his first short story, at the age of fifteen, to Robert
Lowndes's Famous Science Fiction. A full-time writer, he lives in
Washington State with his family. He is married to Astrid Anderson Bear.
