AM ENDE DER EWIGKEIT

Von Jeffrey A. Carver

Seit Jahrzehnten ist das riesige Sternenschiff Impris mit fünfhundert Passagieren an Bord in einer bisher unerforschten Region der Galaxis verschollen. Jeder Suchtrupp kehrte ergebnislos zurück. Doch als der Sternenrigger Renwald Legroeder eines Tages mit seinem Geist die mehrdimensionalen Strukturen des Hyperraums durchstreift, macht er eine unfassbare Entdeckung: Die Impris und ihre Besatzung sind dort in einer Zeitschleife gefangen. Wer oder was steckt dahinter?
Mit seinem eigenen Schiff unternimmt Legroeder einen gewagten Rettungsversuch.
Und das größte Abenteuer des Universums beginnt...

"Bis ans Ende der Ewigkeit und zurück – Jeffrey A. Carver nimmt seine Leser auf eine Reise mit, wie es sie noch nicht gegeben hat. Dieser Roman ist zweifellos eines der großen Science-Fiction-Werke unserer Zeit."
- Analog

"Ein Buch voller Wunder! Zusammen mit Peter Hamilton und Alastair Reynolds setzt Carver die große Tradition von Robert A. Heinlein und Isaac Asimov fort."

Eternity's End is a high-space adventure that hearkens back to the days of sailing ships, complete with space pirates and romance too. This is one of those rare books that has stuck with me long after I finished reading. I enjoyed it from cover to cover and hope to find time to read it again someday.

I must admit I was a little sceptical at the beginning about the whole 'Flying Dutchman .. in Space!"-thing. But it had a nice cover, the "magnus opus" stamp, and I wanted to try another one from the author, after having fun with the "Chaos Chronicles"-series. And true enouth, it started a little .. heavy, at least for my taste. Our hero is, for a time, in a really hopeless looking situation. And then it gets step by step worse. Still it builds engagement, I guess, because it gripped me and I couldn't really stop reading.I don't want to give too much spoilers, so let me just say the assumption that the author is usually (ultimately) nice to his characters saved me in the middle of the book, when the suspense would have killed me otherwise. Its a correct assumption, by the way. But that is all I am saying.Your mileage may vary, but I found a very _very_ skillful balance between giving subtle hints about the developments in advance and keeping me unsure what will happen next. In the end I was quite fascinated. I could summarise the plot in very few words, and it would sound very silly indeed. Instead let me say that I think it's a very skillful remix of stories and settings that could have easily gone wrong. And some will probably think that it did.Don't expect high literature, realistic drama, or serious, "hard" science fiction. If you want a crazy, silly ride with an ending, that I really, really should have seen coming (but didn't), then that book might just be for you :)
