Two present-day investigators race across time to escape malevolent aliens from the future and their terrible βgiftβ of immortality in this novel by a Nebula Awardβwinning author.
What is the price of eternal life? Secret agent Jay Corcoran is about to learn the answer when his investigation into an inexplicable disappearance carries him and journalist friend Tom Boone hundreds of years into the past. Corcoran and Booneβs powerful extrasensory abilities lead them to an advanced transportation system through time, and back to the bucolic eighteenth-century English countryside.
There, they discover a family from the distant future hiding from the Immortalsβan alien race that, many centuries on, is seducing human subjects with the promise of eternal life. But at the cost of the corporeal self, there is no place in the aliensβ future for anyone unwilling to exist as mind alone. Now that the Evans familyβs sanctuary has been breached, escape is the only answerβfor Boone and Corcoran as wellβand the only way out is forward .Β .Β . far forward. But racing through space and time can be a hazardous occupation, especially with monstrous beasts, killer robots, and Immortal body-destroyers waiting at every juncture.
The last novel from acclaimed science fiction Grand Master Clifford D. Simak, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and numerous other awards, Highway of Eternity combines breathtaking action with provocative ideas and unparalleled ingenuity, the hallmarks of Simakβs exceptional art. It is a fitting finale for the man who stands alongside Heinlein, Asimov, Bradbury, and Clarke as one of the true giants of speculative fictionβs Golden Age.
