Description

From the master of the space opera comes a dark, mind-bending adventure spread across time and space, where Doctor Silas Coade is tasked with keeping his crew safe as they adventure across the galaxy in search of a mysterious artifact.
In the 1800s, a sailing ship crashes off the coast of Norway. In the 1900s, a Zepellin explores an icy canyon in Antarctica. In the far future, a spaceship sets out for an alien artifact. Each excursion goes horribly wrong. And on every journey, Dr. Silas Coade is the physician, but only Silas seems to realize that these events keep repeating themselves. And it's up to him to figure out why and how. And how to stop it all from happening again.

    I’ve never met a Reynolds piece that I wasn’t intrigued by and finished without any questions. This, however, was tedious. I love the author and really wanted to finish this book, as I can’t stand the idea if not finishing a book that I’ve started. However, I just couldn’t get through this one.

    Just sucked. Period. At about the 70% mark I realized I was just tired of the chore of reading this book. It was engaging at first, and then turned into ‘stupid’. Sorry Alastair Reynolds, I know it takes a lot to write a book. This one just didnt work.
  • Great novel, terrible proofing

    Great as always from Alastair Reynolds. But the publisher does his work a severe disservice. Why is the digital edition of a book published this year full of typos and punctuation errors?

    A remarkable story. Beautifully written. I won’t say anything about the plot- it is best read without expectation.
