Reseña del editor:

In the deep future mankind is barely distinguishable from machine intelligences, rarely embodied outside of virtual environments. It is time, using the very building blocks of time and space, to engineer the universe itself. Time to enter a new quantum realm of marvels and terrors.

The new novel from one of the worlds most respected and acclaimed writers marks a dramatic move into a new arena ¿ that of the wide screen SF epic ala Baxter, Banks, Hamilton and Macleod. Novels such as this have proved to be the engine house for both the major sales and the best ideas of modern SF. That the genre¿s primary ideas man and one of its finest prose stylists should direct his energies to this sort of canvas promises much. This will be Greg Egan¿s breakout book.

Biografía del autor:

Descripción Hardback: 9½" x 6¼". Condición: Near Fine: Small signs of wear. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. Cover Art: blacksheep Ilustrador. 1st Edition. © 2001: A stand-alone novel by Greg Egan. 1st edition, 1st printing. Light tanning to text block:- Synopsis: For twenty thousand years, every observable phenomenon in the universe has been successfully explained by the Sarumpaet Rules. Now Cass has stumbled on a set of quantum graphs that might comprise the fundamental particles of an entirely different kind of physics, and she has travelled three hundred and seventy light-years to Mimosa Station, a remote experimental facility, in the hope of bringing this tantalising alternative to life. The 'novo-vacuum' is predicted to begin decaying the instant it's created, but even a short-lived, microscopic speck could shed light on the origins of the universe. Cass's experiment turns out to be wildly successful; the novo-vacuum is more stable than the ordinary vacuum around it, and a region in which the new physics holds sway proceeds to expand out from Mimosa at half the speed of light. Six hundred years later, more than two thousand inhabited systems have been lost to the novo-vacuum. On board the Rindler, people have come from throughout inhabited space to study the phenomenon. Most are Preservationists, hunting for a way to turn back the tide, but a few belong to another faction, the Yielders, who believe that the challenge od adapting to survive on the far side of the border would reinvigorate a civilisation that has grown stale and insular. Tchicaya has come to the Rindler as a Yielder, but when Mariama, a childhood friend who inspired him to abandon his own home world and traditions for a life of travel, arrives soon after, he is shocked to discover that she wants to destroy the novo-vacuum. As a theoretical breakthrough reveals the true richness of the world behind the border, tensions between the opposing factions grow. Then a splinter group responds with violent, unilateral action, and Tchicaya and Mariama are forced into an uneasy alliance, travelling together through the border, balancing old and new loyalties against the fate of two incomparably different universes:- Review(s): "One of the genre's great ideas men" - The Times / "It is one of Greg Egan's great skills that he makes the passion of science appear understandable, even inevitable, to non-scientists" - Foundation / "One of the finest and most interesting writers" - The Alien Has Landed / "Fiercely original and a clever craftsman. One of the genre's most consistently brilliant ideas men" - Infinity Plus / "Achieves what the fiction of ideas should always aspire to" - Modern Review / "Greg Egan is the 21st century's most important sf writer. 'Schild's Ladder' is an epic adventure founded on the true science of the future. This is a book none could have written before, and only Egan could write now. Read Egan today, because it's what everybody else will be reading tomorrow. A tale full of wonder, discovery, life and hope" - Stephen Baxter:- (original cost £16.99).
