The World At The End Of Time

Descripción

© 1990: A stand-alone novel by Frederik Pohl. 1st UK edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: The Desire To Create - Wan-To is the oldest, most powerful intelligence in the universe. A massive entity that plays with star systems as children play with marbles. Matter occupies so tiny a part of his awareness that humans are utterly beneath his notice. But even Wan-To can experience loneliness, so he creates versions of himself for companionship. The Power To Destroy - Such offspring, however, are powerful and can turn dangerous. When this happens, he simply destroys the stars where they might be hiding. The colonists of the New Mayflower, recently landed on Newmanhome, are intent on creating a world to live in. They know nothing of such amorphous power. Until the planet's stars begin to shift and the climate starts to cool down, causing a desperate struggle to survive before the colony has even had a chance to develop. Victor Sorricaine is determined to discover the force that is hurtling his world towards the ends of the universe. But the answer is beyond the scope of his understanding:- Review(s): "'The World At The End Of Time' is a staggering achievement. Beautifully written and fuelled by wondrous ideas, it's the most accomplished work yet by one of the great names of science fiction" / "His most ambitious work since the 'Heechee' saga. The reader is due for another treat from one of the masters of the field" - Locus:- (original cost £14.99).
