ā€œA fascinating plunge into a new world. I loved the idea of the SETI Library on the moon. Chasing wormholes is also a wild ride!ā€ ā€”Jack McDevitt, bestselling author of Octavia Gone

Shadows of Eternity is legendary author Gregory Benfordā€™s return to interstellar science fiction as a discovery within the SETI library on the moon turns out to be deadly.

Shadows of Eternity is a novel set two centuries from now. Humanity has established a SETI library on the moon to decipher and interpret the many messages from alien societies we have discovered. The most intriguing messages are from complete artificial intelligences.

Ruth, a beginner Librarian, must talk to alien mindsā€”who have aggressive agendas of their own. She opens doors into strangeness beyond imaginationā€”and in her quest for understanding nearly gets killed doing it.

Gregory Benford is one of science fictionā€™s iconic writers, having been nominated for four Hugo Awards and twelve Nebula Awards. Shadows of Eternity marks Gregory Benfordā€™s return to the sweeping galactic science fiction that readers have been waiting for.
