<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Originally published: New York: Warner Books, 1988.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Multiple Nebula and Hugo Award winner Greg Bear returns to the Earth of his acclaimed novel <i>Eon</i> in <i>Eternity. </i></b> <p/>The crew of the asteroid-starship <i>Thistledown</i> has thwarted an attack by the Jarts by severing their link to the Way, an endless corridor that spans universes. The asteroid settled into orbit around Earth and the tunnel snaked away, forming a contained universe of its own. <p/>Forty years later, on Gaia, Rhita Vaskayza recklessly pursues her legacy, seeking an Earth once again threatened by forces from within and without. For physicist Konrad Korzenowski, murdered for creating The Way, and resurrected, is compelled by a faction determined to see it opened once more. And humankind will discover just how entirely they have underestimated their ancient adversaries.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Hard science and human interest intersect ingeniously in the prequel to Bea's <i>Eon</i> and <i>Eternity</i>....This is a stunning SF novel that extrapolates a scientifically complex future from the basic stuff of human nature." --<i>Publishers Weekly, starred review, on Legacy</i> <p/>"Whether he's tinkering with human genetic material or prying apart planets, Bear goes about the task with intelligence and a powerful imagination." --<i>Locus on Greg Bear</i> <p/>"A cohesive and original vision of the future.
