Description de l’éditeur
The dramatic sequel to Larry Niven and Gregory Benford's New York Times bestselling novel, Bowl of Heaven
Science fiction masters Larry Niven (Ringworld) and Gregory Benford (Timescape) continue the thrilling adventure of a human expedition to another star system that is jeopardized by an encounter with an astonishingly immense artifact in interstellar space: a bowl-shaped structure cupping a star, with a habitable area equivalent to many millions of Earths. And which, tantalizingly, is on a direct path heading toward the same system the human ship is to colonize.
Investigating the Bowl, or Shipstar, the human explorers are separated—one group captured by the gigantic structure's alien inhabitants, the other pursued across its strange and dangerous landscape—while the mystery of the Shipstar's origins and purpose propel the human voyagers toward discoveries that transform their understanding of their place in the universe.

Avis des utilisateurs
One little improvement was needed...
One word could have greatly improved this book and its volume 1 companion. That word is "proofread"!
I can't imagine how this got out in the condition it's in. There are many spots in the book where one thing is said, then a page or even just a paragraph later, that thing is contradicted or made redundant. And there are far too many repetitions of near identical blocks of text.
The ideas and characters re extraordinary, as you would expect from these authors. But their editors and publisher let them down.
