'If you like hard SF with mind-stretching ideas—both physical and psychological—then you definitely want to read this book.' —Analog on the New York Times bestseller Bowl of Heaven A human expedition to colonize another star system 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.
