Book Overview
Michael Crichton meets Marvel's Venom in award-winning author Seth Dickinson's science fiction debut, named one of The New York Times' Best SFF Books of 2024.
"Agonizing and mesmerizing, a devastating and extraordinary achievement."--The New York Times "Magnificent. . . . A science fiction action juggernaut."--Tamsyn Muir "Anna, I came to Earth tracking a very old story, a story that goes back to the dawn of time. It's very unlikely that you'll die right now. It wouldn't be narratively complete." Anna Sinjari--refugee, survivor of genocide, disaffected office worker--has a close encounter that reveals universe-threatening stakes. Enter Ssrin, a many-headed serpent alien who is on the run from her own past. Ssrin and Anna are inexorably, dangerously drawn to each other, and their contact reveals universe-threatening stakes. While humanity reels from disaster, Anna must join a small team of civilians, soldiers, and scientists to investigate a mysterious broadcast and unknowable horror. If they can manage to face their own demons, they just might save the world.Format:Hardcover

I've Never Read A Book Like This Before
Published by Alex T , 3 months ago
What begins with an alien in a turtle pond in NYC ends in ways I never saw coming. It combines deep hard science (fractals, prime numbers, pink noise) with theology and the soul. What begins as one character's journey, is seven by the end. Expect gun fights, dog fights that make Top Gun look like paper airplanes, and battles with spaceships.
I found the first 50 pages the slowest part. After that it swings rapidly into high action, high science. Often I could only read 25-50 pages at a time before I needed to stop and let it sink in. Normally I could finish a book this length in 2 sittings. It took me a week. I also really hope this is a beginning of a trilogy. I want to read more of these characters.
