Beschreibung

<p><b>Hugo and Shirley Jackson award-winning Peter Watts stands on the cutting edge of hard SF with his acclaimed novel, <i>Blindsight</i></b><br><br>Two months since the stars fell...<br><br>Two months of silence, while a world held its breath.<br><br>Now some half-derelict space probe, sparking fitfully past Neptune's orbit, hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system: a faint signal sweeping the cosmos like a lighthouse beam. Whatever's out there isn't talking to us. It's talking to some distant star, perhaps. Or perhaps to something closer, something <i>en route</i>.<br><br>So who do you send to force introductions with unknown and unknowable alien intellect that doesn't wish to be met?<br><br>You send a linguist with multiple personalities, her brain surgically partitioned into separate, sentient processing cores. You send a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultrasound. You send a pacifist warrior in the faint hope she won't be needed. You send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called <i>vampire</i>, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a <i>synthesist</i>-an informational topologist with half his mind gone-as an interface between <i>here </i>and <i>there</i>.<br><br>Pray they can be trusted with the fate of a world. They may be more alien than the thing they've been sent to find.</p>
