Reviews of Against Infinity \"Likely to be considered one of the best SF novels of the year...a powerfully evocative book.\"-Algis Budrys \"Benford is a rarity: a scientist who writes with verve and insight not only about black holes and cosmic strings, but about human desires and fears.\"-The New York Times Book Review \"Typical Benford virtues...a gritty, three-dimensional future, a believable hero, a real flair for the alien.\"-Publishers Weekly \"A confident grasp of the workings and consequences of bio technics, a gift for action scenes and an ability to conceive of a creature as awesome and wondrous as his Aleph. A worthy successor to Timescape.\"-Booklist\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 05, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42712406917183,"sku":"9781939051264","price":20.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/508cfc521dac945f6386bb863eec3f17.webp?v=1765061633","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/against-infinity-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
