“A wonderfully realized, richly-detailed and cohesive novel.” —People
“Few novels have ever had a broader scope … on a scale rarely seen in science fiction since the great works of Olaf Stapledon.”—The Denver Post
Seven billion years from now, long after the Sun has died and human life has become extinct, alien beings reconstruct homo sapiens from our fossilized DNA drifting as debris in deep space. We are reborn to serve as bait in a battle to the death between the Rimstalker, humankind's re-animator, and the zōtl, horrific creatures who feed vampire-like on the suffering of intelligent lifeforms.
Set in the artificial planetary system of Chalco-Doror, an enormous cosmic machine, The Last Legends of Earth is a love story, a gripping saga of struggle against alien control, and an examination of the machinery of creation and destruction.
The Last Legends of Earth is a magnificent, visionary epic of the far future.
