"IRRESISTIBLE!"--The Boston GlobeSeconds before the Earth is demolished...
In the mid-nineties Jeffrey Carver released the first three books of a planned six book series called "The Chaos Chronicles." As a friend noted at the time, in telling a story that spanned the galaxy, Carver finally had a canvas big enough for his imagination. Then for more than 10 years no more books. Finally the fourth book, "Sunborn" has arrived. It takes a while to get back into the series, and he realizes that, providing some background reminders without interfering with the present story. The new plot has Earth facing two threats, one in the Solar System and one 1500 light years away. Both involve human characters interacting with an increasingly bizarre array of aliens. The vaguely humanoid aliens and robots are fun characters, but then Carver introduces characters like you've never seen: a hyperdimensional character seen as a cone in our space, thinking clouds from another universe, and most bizarre of all, sentient stars. It's a great read leading to not one but two climaxes. The story is fully resolved, but the stage is now set for the bigger conflicts to come. Carver combines likable and all-too human characters (including some of the aliens with hard science and big adventure. If you read the first three books, you'll want this one. If you haven't, time to get started.
