Description
Hugo Award winner Peter Watts (Blindsight) returns to the Sunflower Cycle of The Freeze-Frame Revolution.
It’s been more than sixty-five million years since the Eriophora has encountered another ship from Earth.
“A hard science fiction writer through and through—and one of the very best alive.”
—The Globe and Mail
Eriophora is one of a handful of converted asteroids building jump gates for a glorious human diaspora that never materialized. The crew pass their lives in stasis, waking for a few precious moments every millennium or two when Chimp, the ship’s AI, encounters a problem it can’t handle on its own.
After thwarting a mutiny against Chimp, Viktor Heinwald wakes to find the fellow wormhole-builder Araneus right in their path, derelict and impossibly off-course. Even more impossibly, there’s a monstrous survivor.
For millennia, strange lifeforms have emerged from the wormholes after a build and hunted the Eriophora. Now, one of those hunters has finally caught up, and convinced Chimp it’s human.
There’s a gremlin on board.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
“A new book from crazy genius Watts is always cause for celebration . . . Watts is one of those writers who gets into your brain and remains lodged there like an angry, sentient tumor.”
—io9
“[Watts] asks the questions that the best science fiction writers ask, but that the rest of us may be afraid to answer.”
—Chicago Tribune
“Watts displays a gleefully macabre inventiveness combined with scientific rigour.”
—Nalo Hopkinson, author of Brown Girl in the Ring
“Peter Watts is some precisely engineered hybrid of Lucius Shepard and Gregory Benford, lyrical yet hard-edged, purveyor of sleek surfaces and also the ethical and spiritual contents inside.”
—Locus
“Watts continues to challenge readers with his imaginative plots and superb storytelling.”
—Library Journal
“[Watts] is a hard science fiction writer through and through—and one of the very best alive, a peer of writers such as Neil Stephenson, Allen Steele, and the Three Gregs, Benford, Bear and Egan.”
—The Globe and Mail
“If science fiction can really be claimed as a literature of ideas, then Watts is without doubt its premier practitioner.”
—Richard Morgan, author of Altered Carbon
