Vernor Vinge is one of the most interesting science fiction writers, a man who is called "the most serious author of action-packed prose." He wrote not so much - the novels "The World of Grimm", "The Edge", "Flame over the abyss", "Deep in the sky" and the cycle "Through time", but each of his works was a huge success. "Through Time" occupies a special place among the writings of Vinge. These are novels about absolute power, which corrupts absolutely .. A novel about the "war for freedom and independence" . Only — what is freedom and what is independence? This is the future, thought out to the last detail, and scientific in the best sense of the word fiction, fused together with a futuristic thriller . It’s a book that critics have called simply and clearly “a conceptual breakthrough in fiction.” Don't miss it!
