"An enthralling story.... [The] climax [is] an exhilarating and touching glimpse of transcendence." --Starlog "Vigorous speculation...Sawyer ends with some grandeur worthy of vintage Arthur C. Clarke." --The Denver Post "Sawyer is first and foremost a writer of ideas, some concept that can drive a narrative through to a grand conclusion, one that remains true to science but often achieves that sense of transcendence that Samuel R. Delany once said was the sine qua non of science fiction. This is Sawyer's great strength, and it's fully present in Calculating God....A intellectual thriller with real bite." --The Edmonton Journal
Diagnosed with lung cancer, paleontologist Thomas Jericho expects to die within the year. What he doesn't expect is the appearance of a spiderlike alien in his museum seeking confirmation from Earth's prehistoric past of the existence of God. The author of Factoring Humanity once again demonstrates his wild talent for innovative, iconoclastic storytelling as he relates a thought-provoking, sobering, yet wryly compassionate tale of one man's discovery of timelessness even as his own time is running out. A good choice for most sf collections. Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
