Now an ancient struggle is joined, as a boy seeks manhood, a man seeks enlightenment, and a society seeks to survive. Reviews of Against Infinity \"Likely to be considered one of the best SF novels of the year...a powerfully evocative book.\"-Algis Budrys \"Benford is a rarity: a scientist who writes with verve and insight not only about black holes and cosmic strings, but about human desires and fears.\"-The New York Times Book Review \"Typical Benford virtues...a gritty, three-dimensional future, a believable hero, a real flair for the alien.\"-Publishers Weekly \"A confident grasp of the workings and consequences of bio technics, a gift for action scenes and an ability to conceive of a creature as awesome and wondrous as his Aleph. A worthy successor to Timescape.\"-Booklist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gregory Benford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1939051266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781939051264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lucky Bat Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.70d","brand":"Gregory Benford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937662337279,"sku":"9781939051264","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_681f5d4f-8d5d-4edb-a88e-31887d9f5903.jpg?v=1681431353","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/against-infinity-gregory-benford-9781939051264","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
