Opinion is fiercely divided on whether to settle in and plant the seed of mankind anew, or to continue using high-energy stasis fields, or bobbles," in venturing into the future.

The result is exciting; you can hardly turn the pages fast enough." "Splendid long-range sequel to The Peace War. A marvelous extrapolative tale, to which no summary can do justice, with a gripping blend of high-tech razzle-dazzle and good old-fashioned murder-mystery--all spiced with that unique and awe-inspiring new twist on the time-travel theme. Easily Vinge's best work, and highly recommended." "The scope and grandeur of the plot mark this novel as a high point in hard SF creativity. Highly recommended." 71418+sh92618
