What this book is about
The third Noumenon novel continues Marina J. Lostetter's hard science fiction saga about generation ships and the artificial intelligences that travel with them across centuries, this time focused on the crew's encounter with a cosmic megastructure that defies conventional physics. Lostetter's series is remarkable for its scope — spanning thousands of years — and its meditation on identity, evolution, and what persists when everything else changes.
