211-pages; ** A sequel exploring consciousness, alien intelligences, and the deeper metaphysics of Attanasio's universe. ** Goodreads: One star-chained evening in a Manhattan bathroom, Carl Schirmer spontaneously combusts! His body transforms into light, mysteriously snatched from his banal life by an alien intelligence 130 billion years in the future. There, all spacetime is collapsing into a cosmic black hole, the Big Crunch - and a bold, cosmic destiny awaits Carl. Rebuilt from the remnants of his light by extraterrestrials for a cryptic purpose, he awakens in time's last world, the strangest of all - the Werld. At the edge of infinity, Carl discovers the Foke, nomadic humans who travel among the floating islands of the Werld. The Foke teach him how to live - and love - at the end of time, and he loses his heart to his plucky guide, the beautiful Evoë. Their life together in this blissful kingdom that knows no aging or disease brings them to rapture - until Evoë falls prey to the zotl, a spidery intelligence who hunt the Foke and eat the chemical by-products of their pain. In order to save his beloved from a gruesome death, Carl must return to Earth - 130 billion years earlier - where he is shocked to discover that the Earth he's come back to is not the one he left. Can he meet the harsh demands of his task before the zotl find him and begin ravishing the Earth? >> Creasing to left edge of front cover; edge wear to covers; Store-Stamp on bottom edge of book, Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall

© 1985: 2nd in the 'Radix' series of books. 1st UK edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: Carl Schirmer had disappeared without trace, his bathroom blasted by an unclassifiable fire which left a strange and disturbing image in the mirror, which Carl's lifelong friend Zee tried to decipher, at first without success. Then a friend of his who worked at IBM's image-intensification lab in Jersey took pity on his feeble but relentless efforts and decided to prove once and for all that the mirror was a random fire pattern. A week later, the friend, pastier and meeker-looking, presented him with a computer enhanced photograph. The five-by-seven-inch unglossed image showed a starburst of puissant radiance, most of it blank, with an unscaled intensity. Daggered at the very centre, a clot of darkness resolved with a stabling clarity to Carl Schirmer's horror-crazed features. And that was only the beginning:- Review(s): "A fantasy novel of bold inventiveness and furious pacing" - American Library Association / "A compelling and often brilliant novel" - Publishers Weekly / "Attanasio swizzles worlds like galaxies in a highball glass" - Los Angeles Times:- (original cost £2.95).
