Övrig information

SALES POINTS * Millennium Lead Title * Epic space opera in the grand tradition from the Hugo Award winning author of A FIRE UPON THE DEEP * 'Revelatory space opera, galaxy spanning story...the book's immensity puts Vinge in the Golden New Age of Arthur C Clarke and Greg Bear' - The Times * 'Vinge has done it again. A Deepness in the Sky is vivid, suspenseful, [and] realistic. Vinge's villains are chillingly believable, and so is his vision of a hopeful tomorrow." - David Brin *'Vernor Vinge's latest novel is a triumph, continuing the most visionary, intelligent deep-space adventure of our time. Reason to cheer, indeed--and a great, long read it is." - Gregory Benford * 'The sort of epic take on a first-contact scenario that you would expect from a writer of Vernor Vinge's quality' - Peter F. Hamilton
