A scientist facing personal tragedy discovers a sentient black hole targeting humanity in this hard sci-fi thriller from âa superb storytellerâ (Houston Post).
Dr. Benjamin Knowltonâs private world is crumbling around him. On the threshold of their greatest achievement, the renowned astrophysicist learns that his beloved wife and partner, Channingâan ex-astronaut-turned astronomerâis dying of cancer.
Meanwhile, something looms alarmingly on the far edge of the solar system: at once a scientific find of unparalleled importance that could ensure the Knowltonsâ immortality, and a potential earth-shattering cataclysm that dwarfs their private one. For Benjamin and Channing have discovered âEater,â an eons-old black hole anomaly that devours stars and worlds. Yet its most awesome and devasting secrets are still to be revealed . . . and feared.
âA celestial horror tale, a cosmological adventure, a literate end-of-the-world epic, and a story bursting with old-fashioned âsense of wonder.ââ âOrlando Sentinel
âBenford spins poetry from textbook phenomena . . . [His] novel proves that scientific wisdom involves the heart and soul as well as the mind.â âThe Washington Post Book World
âThe scientific equivalent of a taut police procedural . . . Benfordâs deft, suspenseful weaving of the struggle between Eater and humanity blends two threads with maximal impact.â âNewark Star Ledger
âEven in the face of huge events and special effects sequences, Benford manages to keep the characters and the human-scale issues important . . . Itâs just this kind of juggling that characterizes the best of Benfordâs work . . . Eater is Benfordâs most Benfordesque book in quite a while.â âLocus
