Descriptions du produit
From Publishers Weekly
Grand Masters Pohl (Gateway) and the late Clarke (1917–2008, best known for 2001) collaborated on a can't-put-down adventure that focuses on their mutual strengths: high adventure, fun characters and hard science. Sometime in the near future, teenage Sri Lankan math prodigy Ranjit Subramanian manages to reconstruct and then publish Fermat's claimed proof of his famous last theorem. As Ranjit celebrates fame and fortune, the all-powerful aliens called Grand Galactics see the flash from early nuclear explosions and decide that humanity will have to be wiped out. When Earth's superpowers deploy a new, nonlethal way of handling renegade nations and humanity begins working on global peace and large-scale engineering projects, Ranjit and his family try to broker a truce with the destructive alien force, modeling human optimism through rationality and science. Long passages of math tricks and intrusive narration mar an otherwise enjoyable tale of the struggle between reason and fear. (Aug.)

Review
Praise for Arthur C. Clarke
“A master at describing the wonders of the material universe in sentences that combine a respect for scientific accuracy with an often startling lyricism.”
–The New York Times
Praise for Frederik Pohl
“Pohl belongs to a generation of classic science fiction practitioners, an editor and writer who not only witnessed science fiction’s maturation but also did his fair share in changing the baby’s diapers and teaching it to ride that first bike.”
–Los Angeles Times
