    From Book 1: The Peace War is quintessential hard-science adventure. The Peace Authority conquered the world with a weapon that never should have been a weapon--the "bobble," a spherical force-field impenetrable by any force known to mankind. Encasing governmental installations and military bases in bobbles, the Authority becomes virtually omnipotent. But they've never caught Paul Hoehler, the maverick who invented the technology, and who has been working quietly for decades to develop a way to defeat the Authority. With the help of an underground network of determined, independent scientists and a teenager who may be the apprentice genius he's needed for so long, he will shake the world, in the fast-paced hard-science thriller that garnered Vinge the first of his four Hugo nominations for best novel. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

    The Barnes & Noble Review presents a gripping tale set 50 million years in the future, where the remnants of humanity face extinction amidst a backdrop of murder and hard science fiction. Following the events of The Peace War, the narrative centers on bobbles—force fields that isolate areas from the universe. Small groups of humans have survived by entering stasis for centuries, but with fewer than 300 individuals remaining and crucial technology deteriorating, a long-term survival plan is critical. However, the survivors are deeply divided. The plot thickens when Marta Korolev, a key planner, is brutally murdered while others remain in stasis. A former police officer must unravel the mystery of her death to prevent the extinction of the human race. This sequel, often hailed as Vinge's best work, is a compelling blend of intrigue and thought-provoking concepts, appealing to fans of his later acclaimed novels. With its imaginative scope and visual richness, this masterpiece is essential reading for science fiction enthusiasts. Paul Goat Allen
