The Infinity Link
Author: Jeffrey A. Carver
Publisher: Starstream Publications
ISBN: 1611384893
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 704
Book Description
Mysterious travelers...impossible love... The year is 2034, and at the Sandaran Research Center, a young woman named Mozy participates in a cyberlink experiment via tachyon beam. So intimate is the connection that she falls hopelessly in love with her distant partner, David Kadin, a man she has met only through the link. Upon learning that the project is to be terminated—and wanting desperately to fulfill her dreams—Mozy makes a daring decision. Her choice catapults her into a flight of astounding discovery—one that puts her squarely in the path of a potential war, communication with the whales of Earth, and secret first contact with visitors from the stars. Are the aliens enemies or friends? No one knows, and now it may fall to this young woman alone to discover the truth. Caught in a telepathic link with the Talenki voyagers, Mozy's personal odyssey becomes entwined with the fate of all of Humanity. Combining visionary speculation with passionate human characters, The Infinity Link is an epic work of transcendent science fiction and an exploration into the very nature of humanity. From the Nebula-nominated author of Eternity’s End and recipient of the Frank Herbert Lifetime Achievement Award for science fiction writing. REVIEWS: “A long, ambitious work, painted on a canvas as big as the solar system. The concept itself is even larger—the eventual linkup of various intelligent life forms of our galaxy, including humans, whales and several alien races. Carver carefully sets up his story and develops it in a meticulous fashion...it works very well.” —Publishers Weekly “A complex, rich, and satisfying novel.” —Fantasy Review “A compelling vision of our world on the day after tomorrow.” —Joan D. Vinge, author of The Snow Queen “A satisfying and rewarding visionary experience.” —Analog “A rich novel of immense scope, with the most detailed and brilliant descriptive passages of empathic and telepathic communication. Highly recommended.” —SF and Fantasy Reviews “A book I just couldn’t put down. Murder, mystery, suspense, romance and love—The Infinity Link has it all.” —Taxi Globe “Carver’s most ambitious and most successful work to date. Hopefully a portent of even better things to come.” —Science Fiction Chronicle
