Ancestral Night by Elizabeth Bear

Ancestral Night by Elizabeth Bear

"Outstanding...Amid a space opera resurgence, Bear's novel sets the bar high." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

A space salvager and her partner make the discovery of a lifetime that just might change the universe in this wild, big-ideas space opera from Hugo Award-winning author Elizabeth Bear.

Haimey Dz and her partner Connla Kurucz are salvage operators, living just on the inside of the law...usually. Theirs is the perilous and marginal existence--with barely enough chance of striking it fantastically big--just once--to keep them coming back for more. They pilot their tiny ship into the scars left by unsuccessful White Transitions, searching for the relics of lost human and alien vessels. But when they make a shocking discovery about an alien species that has been long thought dead, it may be the thing that could tip the perilous peace mankind has found into full-out war.

Energetic and electrifying, Ancestral Night is a dazzling space opera, sure to delight fans of Alastair Reynolds, Iain M. Banks, and Peter F. Hamilton--"Bear's ability to create breathtaking variations on ancient themes and make them new and brilliant is, perhaps, unparalleled in the genre" (Library Journal, starred review).

THE JOHN W. BEAR AWARD was given to ELIZABETH BEAR. In 2005, he won the Campbell Award for Best New Writer. For her short fiction, she has received two Hugo Awards, a Sturgeon Award, and the Locus Award for Best First Novel. Range of Ghosts, Broken Pillars, and Steles of the Sky are part of her critically praised Eternal Sky Trilogy. Brookfield, Massachusetts is where Bear calls home.
