Vernor Vinge is one of the most interesting writers of science fiction, a man who has been called “the most serious writer of suspense prose.” He didn’t write that much—the novels “Grimm’s World,” “Spearhead,” “Flame on the Abyss,” “Depth in the Sky” and the “Through Time” series, but each of his works was a huge success. “Through Time” occupies a special place among Vinge’s works. These are novels about absolute power, which corrupts absolutely. A novel about the “war for freedom and independence.” Just what is freedom and what is independence? This is the future, thought out to the last detail, and science fiction in the best sense of the word, fused together with a futuristic thriller. This is a book that critics called simply and clearly - “a conceptual breakthrough in science fiction.” Don't miss it!
