From the other side of time come: Thistledown, the asteroid starship of the future; Gaia, a parallel reality where Alexander the Great's empire has ruled for 2000 years; the Way, an infinite corridor through space-time. This is the sequel to 'Eon'.

A starship hurtles through the emptiness of space. Its destination - unknown. Its purpose - a mystery.
Now, one man wakes up. Ripped from a dream of a new home - a new planet and the woman he was meant to love in his arms - he finds himself wet, naked, and freezing to death. The dark halls are full of monsters but trusting other survivors he meets might be the greater danger.
All he has are questions -- Who is he? Where are they going? What happened to the dream of a new life? What happened to Hull 03?
All will be answered, if he can survive the ship.

"Three stories with a common theme: the female psyche, multiplied and divided," says Greg Bear in his introduction to Women in Deep Time. "There's probably something Jungian in common with all three. At any rate, throughout my writing career (and for whatever reason) I've been fascinated by the feminine voice."
