Starred Review. In his triumphant return to large-scale SF, Nebula and Hugo–winner Bear (Quantico)
links three young drifters in present-day Seattle with an unimaginably
distant future. When the drifters answer an odd newspaper advertisement,
they soon find themselves caught up in a war between mysterious and
powerful forces. Two not-quite-humans, creations of a million-year

In a post-human future, one city, guarded by reality generators and
surrounded by the terrible maelstrom of Chaos, is the sole bastion of
order. In our time, three people who can alter the course of fate, a
murky past, and the dreams of a decaying city at the end of time are
brought together by a newspaper ad and into the hands of collectors of
their kind. Back in the future, the strange characters include keepers
and the Librarian, who seek to protect history, and others who welcome
Chaos. As the lines of fate and possibility collapse toward
inevitability, the three fateshifters resort to the tenuous protection
of a Seattle warehouse full of books as a storm that threatens to
destroy everything approaches. If the trio survives and holds onto
memory through the disaster, memory will begin again, the long decay of
reality will end, and mysteries will be solved in the eye of the storm.

t refuge of intelligence in a dying universe, is about to fall
before the onslaught of chaos. They have been chosen by beings evolved
far beyond mere matter to undertake a dangerous mission to preserve the
universe's last vestiges of consciousness. Somehow the two groups engage
in telepathic communication despite the eons that separate them.
Something of an homage to William Hope Hodgson's classic The Night Land,
this complex, difficult and beautifully written tale will appeal to
sophisticated readers who prefer thorny conundrums to fast-paced action.
