<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Greg Egan's <i>Perihelion Summer </i>is a story of people struggling to adapt to a suddenly alien environment, and the friendships and alliances they forge as they try to find their way in a world where the old maps have lost their meaning. <p/>Taraxippus is coming: a black hole one tenth the mass of the sun is about to enter the solar system. <p/>Matt and his friends are taking no chances. They board a mobile aquaculture rig, the Mandjet, self-sustaining in food, power and fresh water, and decide to sit out the encounter off-shore. As Taraxippus draws nearer, new observations throw the original predictions for its trajectory into doubt, and by the time it leaves the solar system, the conditions of life across the globe will be changed forever. <p/>Praise for <i>Perihelion Summer</i> <p/>"Egan here doubles down on climate change with his typically rigorous exploration of a cosmic accident's effect on Earth and all its people. His characters are sharp and funny and their courageous response to the massive challenge they face works as a spur to cause us to think--why couldn't we do as well with our own great challenge? This is what the best science fiction can do that no other genre can, and we need it now more than ever. Bravo!" -- Kim Stanley Robinson</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>GREG EGAN is a computer programmer, and the author of many acclaimed science fiction novels.
