Résumé

"Lerner's world-building and extrapolating are top notch." -SFScopeHowever wildly people had imagined First Contact? They never imagined this. They weren't supposed to be there. They hadn't planned to be there. But neither had they planned for the near-catastrophic explosion that had all but destroyed their interstellar passenger vessel. There was somewhere on the far fringes of what the rustic locals-for all they knew alone in the universe-egotistically capitalized as the Solar System.
But however primitive these humans, scarcely spacefaring at all, they were the last, best, and-however vanishingly small-only hope for the few surviving passengers of the starship Greater Good to avoid lingering deaths on some remote, icy rock. And the crew of the tiny spaceship Andrew Carnegie? They entertained no plans beyond keeping secret the identity of their destination asteroid, exploiting its storehouse of precious metals, and fantasizing over how to spend their anticipated wealth.
The universe, once again, didn't give a damn what anyone had planned...."One of the leading global writers of hard science fiction."-The Innovation Show

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie de Edward M. Lerner

A physicist and computer scientist, Edward M. Lerner toiled in the vineyards of high tech for thirty years, as everything from engineer to senior vice president. Then, suitably intoxicated, he began writing full time. His novels run the gamut from near-future technothrillers, like Small Miracles and Energized, to traditional SF, like the InterstellarNet series and Dark Secret. Collaborating with NY Times bestselling author Larry Niven, Ed also wrote the Fleet of Worlds series of Ringworld companion novels.
Much of Ed's short fiction has been collected in Creative Destruction and Countdown to Armageddon / A Stranger in Paradise. His nonfiction articles on science and technology centerpiece Frontiers of Space, Time, and Thought: Essays and Stories on The Big Questions. Lerner's 2015 novel, InterstellarNet: Enigma, won the inaugural Canopus Award for interstellar-themed fiction. His writing has also been nominated for Hugo, Locus, and Prometheus awards.
