Product Description

Product Description

The long-awaited new novel from Hugo Award-winning writer Greg Egan! The Amalgam spans nearly the entire galaxy, and is composed of innumerable beings from a wild variety of races, some human, some near-human, and some entirely other. The one place that they cannot go is the bulge, the bright, hot center of the galaxy. There dwell the Aloof, who for millions of years have deflected any and all attempts to communicate with or visit them. So, when Rakesh is offered an opportunity to travel within their sphere, in search of a lost race, he cannot turn it down!

2.0 out of 5 stars Harder than his usual hard sf., Aug 20 2008
By L. Reeves (Toronto, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I like most of Greg Egan's work, and though this story is passable it's extremely dry even for his standards. Egan is typically writes a harder science fiction than any other hard s.f. author, but this time it feels as if he's gone completely over the deep end as half of the book explains Newtonian physics. It reads like a more stylized version of Flatland - maybe some readers may enjoy that, but there's no real new exploration of the real ideas that make Egan's earlier work so interesting.

As a die-hard fan of the author I don't quite regret buying this book, but I'd warn any new readers to aim first for Diaspora, Quarantine or Permutation City.
