Una desastrosa extinción ocurrida en el siglo XXIII amenaza la continuidad de la civilización. Los poseedores del poder tecnológico intentan recoger a todos los supervivientes que van siendo liberados del éxtasis de las burbujas e incorporarlos al proyecto final, que no es otro que reconstruir la civilización con una diezmada humanidad. Vernor Vinge writes pretty imaginative and (to me) unusual SciFi books, and this one was no exception. It's the second part of the series, but it's all much later than the first book, by thousands (millions?) of years. Something (humans? We never know for sure) all but destroyed the human race, and now they're close to finalizing that act. But mixed with that is a simple murder mystery to occupy our interest until the end. I found it to be thoughtful and interesting, like most of his books. In this story, he expands the concept of the bobbles introduced in the last book, and they are used in ways you might never expect. An enjoyable scifi mystery, although I was more engaged by its unusual premise and structure than by the actual sleuthing part, which felt a bit underbaked. I should also note that I read the entire thing without realizing it was #2 in a series. So it works just fine as a standalone novel, for anyone who wants to just drop in for the detective story. This book surprised me. It started out pretty slow and slightly confusing ... it's a sequel to the previous novel, but I didn't really recognize any characters, just the technology they talk about. Rather suddenly, a little more than halfway through the book, all the exposition was done and the story entered fast-paced intense mode. I finished the last half in two days. Quite a good story!
Dit boek is het vervolg op 'de vredesoorlog', maar onafhankelijk te lezen. Het verhaal speelt miljoenen jaren na nu, de beschaving en de mensheid zijn onder onduidelijke omstandigheden verdwenen. Slechts een klein aantal personen heeft de ondergang overleefd. Een ieder probeert er het beste van te maken, want ziekte en dood zijn geen realiteit meer. Twee vrouwen proberen de mensheid te restaureren. Niet iedereen is even enthousiast, er wordt een moord gepleegd. Hier neemt het verhaal een wending en wordt van sociologische-sf een sf-detective compleet met excentrieke personen en hoogstaande technologie. Dit alles is spannend geschreven en compleet met mega-schurk. Ist enthalten inAuszeichnungen
"In this thriller, nobody knows why there are only three hundred humans left alive on the Earth fifty million years from now. Opinion is fiercely divided on whether to settle in and plant the seed of mankind anew, or to continue using high-energy stasis fields, or "bobbles," in venturing into the future. When somebody is murdered, it's obvious that someone has a secret and is willing to kill to preserve it. The murder intensifies the rift between the two factions, threatening the survival of the human race. It's up to twenty-first-century detective Wil Brierson, the only cop left in the world, to find the culprit, a diabolical fiend whose lust for power could cause the utter extinction of man."--BOOK JACKET.
