Reviews of Against Infinity \"Likely to be considered one of the best SF novels of the year...a powerfully evocative book.\"-Algis Budrys \"Benford is a rarity: a scientist who writes with verve and insight not only about black holes and cosmic strings, but about human desires and fears.\"-The New York Times Book Review \"Typical Benford virtues...a gritty, three-dimensional future, a believable hero, a real flair for the alien.\"-Publishers Weekly \"A confident grasp of the workings and consequences of bio technics, a gift for action scenes and an ability to conceive of a creature as awesome and wondrous as his Aleph. A worthy successor to Timescape.\"-Booklist\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lucky Bat Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45546370465943,"sku":"9781939051264","price":1403.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781939051264.webp?v=1767464472","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/against-infinity-9781939051264","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
