Glorious

From the New York Times–bestselling authors of the Bowl of Heaven series, a classic hard science fiction novel about astronauts exploring alien territory.

Audacious astronauts encounter bizarre, sometimes deadly life forms, and strange, exotic, cosmic phenomena, including miniature black holes, dense fields of interstellar plasma, powerful gravity-emitters, and spectacularly massive space-based, alien-built labyrinths.

Tasked with exploring this brave, new, highly dangerous world, they must also deal with their own personal triumphs and conflicts.

"Niven and Benford? Of course it's great. Two grandmasters combined their talents and the result is, well, glorious. It's a proper end to an amazing trilogy." ―Larry Bond, New York Times–bestselling author of Arctic Gambit

"Full of ideas and often intriguing." ―Kirkus Review
