Loophole by Ian Stewart
Don't poke your nose down a wormhole - you never know what you might find.Two universes joined by a wormhole pair that forms a 'loophole', with an icemoon orbiting through the loophole, shared between two different planetary systems in the two universes. A civilisation with uploaded minds in virtual reality served by artificial humans. A ravening Horde of replicating machines that kill stars.Real humans from a decrepit system of colony worlds. A race of hyperintelligent but somewhat vague aliens.Who will close the loophole? who will exploit it?"When universes collide . . .A multicosmos at war in a scenario of staggering, but scientifically authentic, invention. . . As if the Marvel multiverse collided with 2001: A Space Odyssey . . .I am awed, and I don't awe easily. The highest of high-concept SF."Stephen Baxter, award-winning author of the Xeelee sequence, Time Slip and many others."There's Hard SF. There's Wide-Screen Baroque. Now with Ian Stewart's Loophole we have Wrap-Around Rococo. Daringly inventive, Loophole is a mind-fryingly, Möbius-twistingly intense SF adventure of the first order"Henry Gee, author of A (Very) Short History of Life on Earth.| SKU | Unavailable |
