Gregory Benford is an eminent physicist, multiple award-winning author, and recipient of the United Nations Prize for Literature. Now in a new, revised edition, here is the continuing story of his classic Galactic Center series, a triumph of breathtaking imagination and tense human drama set against an immeasurable tapestry of space, time, and evolution.
ACROSS THE SEA OF SUNS 2076: Lancer, Earth's first starship, is on a mission to find interstellar civilizations. Although astronaut Nigel Walmsley's experiences with alien encounters make him the expert, no one believes Nigel's theory that machines are the dominant intelligent beings left in the galaxy and that their purpose is to annihilate all organic life.
Then the explorers discover once-living planets where only machines remain-and ruined worlds where fugitive survivors must evade omnipresent and lethally advanced A.. warships. By the time the crew of Lancer realizes that Nigel is right, it will be too late-for the machines have already found Lancer...and Earth.
