Science Fiction
In the far future, on top of a gigantic tree rooted in the
ice ball of a comet, a young man’s journey leads to
unexpected encounters In this brand-new cosmic adventure by the author of The
Genesis Quest and The Jupiter Theft, Torris, son of the
Facemaker, knows only his small community at the base of the
great Tree on a comet with almost no gravity or atmosphere.
Torris’s daily struggle for survival includes harvesting
frozen air to keep breathing, dodging flutterbeasts, and
hunting meatbeasts for food. When it comes time to make his
vision quest to the top of the Tree, Torris is completely
unprepared for what he finds: first, a thieving and hostile
fellow quester; then, Ning, a female hunter from a
neighboring tree-bearing comet, who has catapulted across
empty space in search of food to save her family; and
ultimately, alien visitors in a massive starship that has
spent billions of years crossing the galaxy.
Shocked at the cultural differences between his home and
Ning’s and stunned by the changes precipitated by the
arrival of the spaceship, Torris must learn quickly, adapt
even faster, and face an uncertain and rapidly changing
future unlike anything he has ever imagined.
