All of this expertise comes together in this expansion of his story "Beyond the Fall of Night," which is itself a sequel to Arthur C. Clarke's story "Against the Fall of Night" and Clarke's subsequent 1956 novel THE CITY AND THE STARS. Billions of years from now, a mysterious event has killed all of the remaining true humans except for Cley. In an attempt to escape that fate and her custodians, the genetically enhanced Supras, she leaves Earth for outer space. Eventually, she will have to face the being responsible for the near-extinction of humanity: the magnetic entity known as the Malign. Publisher's Note: Escaping from the unbending constraints of Earth in the company of a brilliant beast, a young woman soon discovers that Alien agencies have mastered the ability to span parallel universes, which are undetectable by man-made devices, when she encounters these beings and the unthinkable happens. Industry reviews: "With its thoughtful extrapolation and mind-bending physics, this book reinforces Benford's position as one of today's foremost writers of hard SF."
