How was this different from working on The Chaos Chronicles? It’s about growth, and the development of friendships and love, and discovery. But you’ll enjoy them a lot more if you read from the beginning. That said, I have done my best to make sure that someone coming in at the midpoint can make sense of it all.
The books are part of a continuing story, and are best read in order. The book currently on sale includes the first three novels: Neptune Crossing, Strange Attractors, and The Infinite Sea. From the boojum on Shipworld, to the undersea Maw of the Abyss on the world of the Neri, to the ancient Mindaru attacking the stellar nursery of the Orion Nebula, they teeter constantly on the edge of failure, confronting the impossible.įeaturing a cast of intriguing aliens and alien worlds, and inspired by the science of chaos, the Chronicles spans hundreds of years of human history, fifteen years of the author’s career, and is now nearing a climax with the impending publication of the fifth and sixth volumes: The Reefs of Time and Crucible of Time. However, there are dangers on Shipworld, and soon Bandicut and some remarkable new alien friends are on the move-not exactly voluntarily-to save first one place and then another from catastrophe. Shipworld is an enormous habitat housing refugees from numerous worlds throughout the galaxy. As a consequence of this mission, and through the wonders of alien technology, Bandicut and Charlie wind up at a place called Shipworld, out at the edge of our galaxy. That’s just the starting point, of course. Guided by Charlie the quarx and a strange alien being/machine called the translator, Bandicut steals a spaceship and rockets off in an attempt to save Earth from a rogue comet. Our hero John Bandicut makes the first human contact with an alien intelligence, out on Neptune’s moon Triton, in the person of a noncorporeal named Charlie, who takes up residence in his mind-and proposes a preposterous-sounding mission. The Chaos Chronicles is a long story arc that starts a couple of centuries in the future and goes forward from there. Please give us a short introduction to what The Chaos Chronicles is about. As our Author of the Day, Carver tells us more about The Chaos Chronicles. His novels combine thought-provoking characters with engaging storytelling, and range from the adventures of the Star Rigger universe (Star Rigger’s Way, Dragons in the Stars, and others) to the ongoing, character-driven hard SF of The Chaos Chronicles-which begins with Neptune Crossing and continues with Strange Attractors, The Infinite Sea, Sunborn, and coming in 2019, The Reefs of Time and its conclusion, Crucible of Time. He also authored Battlestar Galactica, a novelization of the critically acclaimed television miniseries.
CARVER was a Nebula Award finalist for his novel Eternity’s End.
