The Philip K. Dick Award-winning saga of humankind's next five million years: "Mind-stretching science fiction at its boldest." —Orlando Sentinel
And everywhere the Humans went, they found life . . .
This dazzling future history, the most ambitious and exciting since Asimov's classic Foundation saga, tells the story of Humankind—all the way to the end of the Universe itself. Here, in luminous and vivid narratives spanning five million years, are the first Poole wormholes spanning the solar system; the conquest of Human planets by Squeem; GUTships that outrace light; the back-time invasion of the Qax: the mystery and legacy of the Xeelee, and their artifacts as large as small galaxies; photino birds and Dark Matter; and the Ring, where Ghost, Human, and Xeelee contemplate the awesome end of Time.
"It's old-fashioned 1950s-style science fiction . . . and it's also lots of fun." —Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Enormously impressive." —Locus
