Requirements: ePUB Reader | 1.55 Mb
Overview: The author of Tides of Light offers his Nebula Award-winning SF classic--a combination of hard science, bold speculation, and human drama.

Earth is falling apart, on the brink of ecological disaster. But in England a tachyon scientist is attempting to contact the past, to somehow warn them of the misery and death their actions and experiments have visited upon a ravaged planet. JFK is still president, rock 'n' roll is king, and the Vietnam War hardly merits front-page news. A young assistant researcher at a California university, Gordon Bernstein, notices strange patterns of interference in a lab experiment. Against all odds, facing ridicule and opposition, Bernstein begins to uncover the incredible truth... a truth that will change his life and alter history... the truth behind time itself.

Winner of the Nebula Award in 1980 and the John W Campbell Memorial Award in 1981, Timescape offers readers a great yarn, in terms of both humanity and science.
Genre: Fiction, Speculative Fiction

"A towering success … [Benford] manages the extremely difficult feat of conveying not only the meaning of his speculations in physics and cosmology, but the excitement as well.… Benford gives us a cast of well-developed strong characters.… [Timescape] puts Benford among the field’s very best. It is not only splendid science fiction, it is a thoroughly splendid novel." —The Washington Post Book World

"Benford, a physicist himself, has produced a brilliant novel — contemporary SF at its best, demonstrating equal strength in its meticulously worked out scientific premise and its strong characterization, with the bonus of a rare authentic picture of scientists at work. This is a gripping and intellectually exciting book, a genuine achievement." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Thirty-five years on, and Timescape arguably represents the pinnacle of Greg Benford's writing career. Not that his writing has not improved, it has, and not that his stories have not become more layered and his characters more complex, they have, but because no subsequent story or book by Greg braids the human and the personal with the awe-inspiring gosh-wow of the best SF. On that level, no one has ever done it better than Greg did with Timescape. Take a chance; you'll be glad you did." ~ephemeral
