A number of passages called "shortcuts" have appeared in the space where humans live. Through these wormhole-like passages, humans have achieved hyperspace leaps and made contact with two other intelligent life forms. But these channels are obviously not naturally formed. Who built them? What's the purpose? With various mysteries and the purpose of trying to find other intelligent life, the three races formed an alliance and jointly designed and built a huge mother ship called Star Cluster.
Keith Ransom is the current commander of the Star Cluster. During his tenure, many unimaginable things happened. Along with the exchanges and wars between races, the threat and help from dark matter, and the love and hatred between men and women, Case will lead his team members to solve these complicated and closely related mysteries, and then explain the meaning of human existence in the universe.
This book is the cornerstone and representative work of Robert Sawyer's space science fiction series.
Reader comments
Moreover, the author blends the stories of the three races together, and the plot is particularly compact, making people unable to help but keep reading. I particularly like Keith Ransom in the book. He is very wise and courageous, and never gives up in the face of so many difficulties. This reminds me of Hari Seldon in "Galactic Empire", they are both amazing characters. By the way, have you ever watched "Galactic Empire"? I think this book has some similarities with "Star Cluster" and both are worth reading.
OK
The beginning is slow, the middle line (three-quarters of the way through), and the ending feels a bit forced to explain. The date should be 1996, there is nothing special about it.
A classic is a classic! No rebuttal accepted
I feel that the novel is very unique, so I will continue to read it.
