<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Includes an excerpt from the sequel to Eon, Eternity.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Greg Bear's <i>Eon </i>is now available for the first time in trade paperback. <p/>The 21st century was on the brink of nuclear confrontation when the 300 kilometer-long stone flashed out of nothingness and into Earth's orbit. NASA, NATO, and the UN sent explorers to the asteroid's surface...and discovered marvels and mysteries to drive researchers mad. <p/>For the Stone was from space--but perhaps not our space; it came from the future-but perhaps not our future; and within the hollowed asteroid was Thistledown. The remains of a vanished civilization. A human--English, Russian, and Chinese-speaking--civilization. Seven vast chambers containing forests, lakes, rivers, hanging cities... <p/>And museums describing the Death; the catastrophic war that was about to occur; the horror and the long winter that would follow. But while scientists and politicians bickered about how to use the information to stop the Death, the Stone yielded a secret that made even Earth's survival pale into insignificance.</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/>"Each new novel only serves to illustrate how masterful Bear has become." --<i>Houston Post on Greg Bear</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.
