Description

This new, special edition of the classic concluding volume of this defining series by the eminent physicist and Nebula Award-winning author contains a teaser chapter from Benford's, The Sunborn.
The final chapter of humanity's future has begun, and three men hold the key to survival. As the fierce, artificially intelligent mechs pursue their savage and unstoppable destruction of the human race, it soon becomes apparent that three men-three generations in a family of voyagers-are their targets. Toby Bishop, his father Kileen, and his longdead grandfather each carry a piece of the lethal secret that can destroy their relentless pursuers. There is only one problem: They have no idea they possess the only weapon that can save humanity.

    The series conclusion was coming together Very well, with interesting hard sci Up to the point where Toby becomes a Tom Sawyer like character in a river boat, the book devolved into more of an illogical poetic fantasy from there on until the non-ending where much is left hanging for the reader to speculate on their own possible future conclusion. After the end of this book, the author suggested he is tired of writing this series and just needs to move on. --First half of the book is worth reading --second half a little weird unless you like Mark Twain with zombies in outer space.
