Publisher Description
From the master of the space opera comes a dark, mind-bending adventure spread across time and space, where Doctor Silas Coade is tasked with keeping his crew safe as they adventure across the galaxy in search of a mysterious artifact.
In the 1800s, a sailing ship crashes off the coast of Norway. In the 1900s, a Zepellin explores an icy canyon in Antarctica. In the far future, a spaceship sets out for an alien artifact. Each excursion goes horribly wrong. And on every journey, Dr. Silas Coade is the physician, but only Silas seems to realize that these events keep repeating themselves. And it's up to him to figure out why and how. And how to stop it all from happening again.
Customer Reviews
Imaginative and Unique
The book is difficult to review without revealing too much. Suffice to say that it is both great historical fiction and great science fiction. In the spirit of H.G. Wells blended with Reynolds’ typical hard sci-fi, it is a tale both fantastic and plausible, although a touch on the nose in some rather obvious scenes. Reynolds is typically trusting of his readers, but in Eversion makes very, very sure we do not miss the central conceit of the plot line. Even with that minor complaint, it was a joyous read and a touching story of unlikely friendship and a healer’s compassion.
