Fiction Library - Science Fiction and Fantasy Novel Science Fiction Space Opera Time Travel _isfdb
Publisher: Bantam Spectra
Published: Dec 2, 2003
The hefty conclusion to the Chronicles of Solace finds that planet more beset than ever. The universe is contracting quickly enough to endanger all humanity. Solace's artificial habitats just might be saved if a new source of solar heat and light can be created. That will be possible if the prospective saviors resort to time travel, which has been forbidden by the Chronologic Patrol for good and sufficient reasons, as readers of The Depth of Time (2000) and The Ocean of Years [BKL Jl 02] know. Furthermore, an alliance of former mortal enemies Oskar DeSilvio and Anton Koffield is the only hope of preventing a final catastrophe. Fortunately, such an ending is the outcome of a very tightly run race, which will leave readers with fond memories of brisk pacing and Allen's intelligent mixing of space opera, hard science, and the drama of human evolution throughout the trilogy. All the time traveling is memorable, too. Now for Allen's next readable saga! Roland GreenCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
Praise for The Ocean of Years
"Thoroughly readable. Again Allen has mixed hard science, social science, and pure adventure effectively."--*Booklist
"[Allen] is one of those few writers that jump to the top of the stack almost of their own volition."--Science Fiction Chronicle
