Anomalies
Science fiction collection of Gregory Benford's best short fiction. Ranging from comic to apocalyptic, the stories of Anomalies challenge concepts of time, space and science. And all the while, Author Gregory Benford's characters charm us. There's Claire, the hard-boiled, randy spacecraft hack - "Do I look like a people person?" - and her heroic efforts, all in the name of a fast buck in The Worm In the Well and its sequel, The Worm Turns. Or the puzzle of The Man Who Wasn't There - can we one day hope to elude detection by deflecting light around objects? Use science to escape society's justice? Can we find a way to stretch time out past a single life-line? Anomalies, the title story, asks a physics-shattering question: what happens if there is a computational error in reality? It's the sort of question that both tickles and challenges. Anomalies includes Afterwords and insights by Gregory Benford into his writing methods, sometimes quite idiosyncratic - and into the stories behind the stories in Anomalies.
Beyond Infinity
Takes a scientist's imagination to the uttermost ends of time. Set more than a billion years from now, the novel begins with a young woman who yearns to escape the rigid, timeless Earth she knows. So she flees, in the company of an intelligent beast wise beyond recognition. But there are mysterious forces afoot among the planets that she never foresaw. Alien agencies have learned to span parallel universes, ones that lie only a millimeter away but are invisible to any device known to man. Soon these beings confront the travelers and a struggle beyond imagining begins.
Grace Immaculate
When we encountered the aliens, we thought we knew the story they were telling. But we were looking at the wrong end . . .
Shiva Descending
The first strikes destroyed Cleveland, Tunis, and parts of Alaska, Canada, and Australia. That was barely the beginning.
The swarm—a cloud of meteors and asteroids 50,000 miles across—was coming. Hundred of missiles put Earth under siege, forcing the world in a panicked hell of anarchy and catastrophe. Riots and orgies rampaged in the rubble. And worse waited.
Because at the swarm’s heart was Shiva—a 30 billion-ton comet set to hit earth with the force of 250,000 H-bombs. The impact would turn seas into vapor and mountains into dust. Pray, scream, get drunk, or run amok—but no one could escape it. No one could survive it.
Heart of the Comet with David Brin
An odyssey of discovery, from a shattered society through the solar system with a handful of men and women who ride a cold, hurtling ball of ice to the shaky promise of a distant, unknowable future.
The Stars in Shroud
The alien Quarn struck suddenly at the heart of Earth's interstellar Empire; their weapon a deadly plague, a soul-twisting assault that stripped away the veneer of civilization, and sent its victims fleeing back a million years to the safety of the ancestral caves.
No one knew how the Quarn spread the plague. No one knew why they wanted to destroy humanity.
But Captain Ling Sanjen had thought of a way to stop them.
And no one could stop it.
Eater
Impending personal tragedy is dimming the brilliant light of Dr. Benjamin Knowlton's world. On the threshold of their greatest achievement, the renowned astrophysicist's beloved wife and partner ex-astronaut-turned astronomer is dying.
But something looms alarningly on the far edge of the solar system: at once a scientific find of unparalleled importance that could ensure the Knowltons' immortality, and a potential earth-shattering cataclysm that dwarfs their private one. For Benjamin and Channing have discovered "Eater," an eons-old black hole anomaly that devours stars and worlds. Yet its most awesome and devasting secrets are still to be revealed...and feared.
The Final Now
Once upon a moment, the One spoke to He and She, and learned that infinity and eternity are slippery concepts. At best.
