Opis

"Emotionally compelling...action-packed...intense" Kirkus Reviews The Spiral Slayer Series: Book One-ENCOUNTERS An advanced alien race called the Loud make first contact with the humans of Amular, a planet that lies at the edge of the Great Coma Wall of galaxies. The social impact plus the scientific and political upheaval, is only exceeded by the gift the Loud have brought-one humans have always dreamed of. However, it is a two-edged sword and one they may not survive. Time redefined, scientists obsolete... Then, a shocking discovery is made: since the dawn of time, a force has been working its way across the observable universe and is now upon them. As the mind-boggling truth is uncovered, it becomes clear that it's an ancient alien who intends to destroy them on their way to a far more devastating and unfathomable objective. An unstoppable black hole coming at the speed of light... Neither the Loud nor the humans can hope to stop the approaching blight. There is no negotiating, no surrender and nowhere to run. A hopeless battle must be fought and somehow survived. About THE SPIRAL SLAYERS SERIES A science fiction odyssey... The cycle of universes: big bang, expansion, big freeze, death and then it starts all over again. Universe after universe, a cycle that has endured for time without end. But now something is going wrong-an increasing number of universes are ending prematurely, unable to fulfill their grand and mysterious destiny, and this is causing the great endless cycle to become unstable. Existence itself is threatened... An advanced species observes their own premature cosmic ending, realizes this is causing the cycle of universes to decay and finds a way to send a warning into the future. Eventually, in another universe, another highly developed civilization finds that warning. In an effort to save existence itself, a way is found to send a hasty and desperate fix beyond their own cosmic ending, through the succeeding big bang and into the next universe...our universe. An exponential step beyond anything before it... In ships powered by black holes, an immortal species as old as time itself is pursued between galactic super clusters across the known universe. Forged in the fires of the early universe, their scientific journey is complete they know everything including the answer to the ultimate enigma...why we and the universe exist.
