Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. In his triumphant return to large-scale SF, Nebula and Hugo–winner Bear (Quantico) links three young drifters in present-day Seattle with an unimaginably distant future. When the drifters answer an odd newspaper advertisement, they soon find themselves caught up in a war between mysterious and powerful forces. Two not-quite-humans, creations of a million-year experiment, have discovered that their ancient fortress/city, perhaps the last refuge of intelligence in a dying universe, is about to fall before the onslaught of chaos. They have been chosen by beings evolved far beyond mere matter to undertake a dangerous mission to preserve the universe's last vestiges of consciousness. Somehow the two groups engage in telepathic communication despite the eons that separate them. Something of an homage to William Hope Hodgson's classic The Night Land, this complex, difficult and beautifully written tale will appeal to sophisticated readers who prefer thorny conundrums to fast-paced action. (Aug.)

Review

“Represents a return to the sort of big and imaginative science-fiction epic that [Greg Bear’s] many fans particularly covet.”—Seattle Post-Intelligencer

“[A] triumphant return to large-scale SF . . . beautifully written.”—Publishers Weekly, A Best Book of the Year

“[City at the End of Time] has the flavor of weird fantasy, closer in its feel to the works of Neil Gaiman or China Miéville than anything Bear has done before. It . . . has an epic depth.”—Sci Fi Weekly

“A gripping, original tale.”—NewScientist

“Powerful and evocative.”—Analog

“Superlative . . . an excellent, excellent work.”—Harlan Ellison

“Compelling . . . a remarkable tour de force of sustained visionary writing . . . one of Bear’s best novels, perhaps even the very best.”—Locus
