THRESHOLD OF ETERNITY
by John Brunner and Damien Broderick
The legendary John Brunner wrote the original Threshold
of Eternity in 1957. Sixty years later Damien Broderick revisits the world
Brunner created in that classic, forward-looking story and modernizes it to
retell the exciting tale of time travelers, augmented intelligences and aliens.
When Korean war vet
Ret. Corporal Lawrence “Red” Hawkins stumbles across a doctor from the future,
he embarks on the most important journey of his life…with the future of
humanity at stake. For he must travel thousands of years into the future to
join in a galactic Time War where alien beings are poised to eradicate humanity
in a conflict that never ends.
Spearheading the fight against the alien race (known only
as the Enemy) is Artesha, a human so advanced, so damaged by a war she’s been
fighting across endless time and space, that her physical form has been
destroyed; she not only has been uploaded into the Center’s web where she runs
humanity’s vast communication network—she has become it.
While Artesha tries to calculate the best way to victory
in a playing field being continuously altered by time surges, it is all that
she and her fleet coordinators, Paulo Magwareet and Burma Brahmasutra, can do
to keep up with the fallout. For there is also another presence at play whom
the humans know as the Being, and the Enemy label the Beast. It will take all
of the time travelers, across many different eras of humanity, working together
to uncover this mysterious entity’s goal, to make right a time torn asunder so
they can forge a future for the human race.
