Description

New York: Tor, 2001. First edition, hardcover, Fine in Fine dust jacket,. Stephan Martiniere. New York: Tor:, 2001. First edition, hardcover, Fine in Fine dust jacket, 348 pp. Cover artwork by: Stephan Martiniere Williamson is a dinosaur. And what a wonderful dinosaur he is too. "Unlike the scores of novels, films, and television miniseries that dwell on how humanity might deal with such an event, this novel takes us past the terrible collision and far into the future, with a group of people who escape the debacle to establish a safe harbor on Earth's Moon. From Tycho Base they can monitor conditions on the devastated Earth. Years pass, then centuries, and then millennia, as they, their cloned children, and their children's children through successive generations undertake the enormous challenge of restoring life to a barren planet. In what may be the capstone of his remarkable career, Jack Williamson has created a compelling human drama, spinning a fascinating tale of danger, change, and survival in a richly imagined future."

About the author

Jack Williamson published his first short story in 1928, and he's been producing entertaining, thought-provoking science fiction ever since. The second person named Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America--the first was Robert A. Heinlein--Williamson has always been in the forefront of the field, being the first to write fiction about genetic engineering (he invented the term), anti-matter, and other cutting-edge science. A renaissance man, Williamson is a master of fantasy and horror as well as science fiction. He lives in Portales, New Mexico.
