Shipstar -- Gregory Benford

<p><b>The dramatic sequel to Larry Niven and Gregory Benford's New York Times bestselling novel, <i>Bowl of Heaven</i></b> <p/>Science fiction masters Larry Niven (<i>Ringworld</i>) and Gregory Benford (<i>Timescape</i>) continue the thrilling adventure of a human expedition to another star system that is jeopardized by an encounter with an astonishingly immense artifact in interstellar space: a bowl-shaped structure cupping a star, with a habitable area equivalent to many millions of Earths. And which, tantalizingly, is on a direct path heading toward the same system the human ship is to colonize. <p/>Investigating the Bowl, or Shipstar, the human explorers are separated--one group captured by the gigantic structure's alien inhabitants, the other pursued across its strange and dangerous landscape--while the mystery of the Shipstar's origins and purpose propel the human voyagers toward discoveries that transform their understanding of their place in the universe.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Gregory Benford<br><b>Publisher:</b> Tor Trade<br><b>Published:</b> 03/03/2015<br><b>Pages:</b> 416<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.40lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.25h x 6.13w x 0.93d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781250878038
