Kg Brome: We Are Stardust, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Pursuing immortality, Soman travels to the star Epsilon Eridani and back, thinking he's so clever to use the starship Sorcerer as his time machine, returning to a future Earth when life extension has been perfected. Instead he confronts a future Earth rippling with dangers-and conflict over the Maro, an implant to control human violence. In the Maro, humans have crafted a tool to overcome their violent history-but can the Maro survive the battle over its adoption? And when the alien Vradra offer Soman the immortality he craves-or do they-he faces a momentous decision. We Are Stardust is Book 1 of The Soman Chronicle. Part space exploration, part hopeful dystopia, the series explores the quest for life extension and the conflicts it creates; the struggles of a peaceful society to defend itself; extreme forms of capitalism; and possibilities-good and bad-for two beings to live in one body. While at the borders of the Universe, the aloof Vradra place beacons, and watch.
