PANDORAS STAR - PETER F HAMILTON KARTONIERT (TB)

An imaginative and stunning tale of the perfect future threatened . . . a book of epic
proportions not unlike Frank Herbert s Dune or Isaac Asimov s Foundation trilogy. SFRevu The
year is 2380. The Intersolar Commonwealth  a sphere of stars  contains more than six hundred
worlds interconnected by a web of transport tunnels known as wormholes. At the farthest edge of
the Commonwealth  astronomer Dudley Bose observes the impossible: over one thousand light-years
away  a star . . . disappears. Since the location is too distant to reach by wormhole  the
Second Chance  a faster-than-light starship commanded by Wilson Kime  a five-times-rejuvenated
ex-NASA pilot  is dispatched to learn what has occurred and whether it represents a threat.
Opposed to the mission are the Guardians of Selfhood  led by Bradley Johansson. Shortly after
the journey begins  Kime wonders if the crew of the Second Chance has been infiltrated. But
soon enough he will have other worries. Halfway across the galaxy  something truly incredible
is waiting: a deadly discovery whose unleashing will threaten to destroy the Commonwealth . . .
and humanity itself. Should be high on everyone s reading list . . . You won t be able to put
it down. Nancy Pearl  NPR Recommended . . . A large cast of characters  each with his own story
brings depth and variety to this far-future saga. Library Journal
