false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172527987m/185828.jpg 185828 4 With his sharp, fast-paced, challenging novel <I>Dark Light</I> (sequel to the Prometheus Award-nominated <I>Cosmonaut Keep</I> in the Engines of Light series), Ken MacLeod reaffirms why he is science fiction's hottest new writer at the turn of the millennium.<p> From the days of the dinosaurs, mysterious aliens have been transporting earthly life forms across the galaxy to the worlds of the Second Sphere. Here, the descendants of humans abducted from the Stone Age and from colonial America coexist with dinosaurs--and with the saurs, their intelligent descendants, who are technologically superior to the humans. This arrangement is disturbed by the arrival of nearly immortal (but far from indestructible) humans from 21st-century Earth--men like Matt Cairns, who have no desire to let the secret of interstellar flight remain in the hands of the inscrutable, almost godlike aliens.<p> In addition to the Engines of Light series, MacLeod has written the Fall Revolution quartet: <I>The Cassini Division</I> (a Nebula Award and Arthur C. Clarke Award finalist); <I>The Star Fraction</I> (a Prometheus Award winner); <I>The Stone Canal</I> (also a Prometheus Award winner); and <I>The Sky Road</I> (a Hugo Award finalist and recipient of the British SF Association Award). <I>--Cynthia Ward</I> 179626 24 10 2001 Dark Light (Engines of Light) total:100|5:9|4:41|3:42|2:7|1:1| 100 350 169 3 3 0 false false Fri Jan 20 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Wed Jun 04 07:57:33 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 04 07:58:06 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Sep 01 15:20:16 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 01 15:25:12 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Mar 31 07:40:25 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 31 07:41:09 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Nov 19 01:46:28 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 19 01:46:28 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sat Nov 14 23:43:20 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 23:43:20 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sat Nov 14 06:38:28 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 06:38:28 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 29 10:20:42 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 10:20:42 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Oct 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 03:49:37 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 10:12:14 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Oct 10 22:54:28 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 22:54:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 30 05:36:53 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 30 05:37:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 23 14:40:04 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 14:40:04 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Sep 17 04:13:40 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 04:13:40 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 17 00:57:22 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 00:58:23 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 08 12:56:20 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 08 12:56:20 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 27 05:01:10 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 05:01:10 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Aug 20 12:34:36 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 12:34:36 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Aug 15 12:02:54 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 12:02:54 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 13 08:38:41 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 08:38:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 09 20:25:39 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 09 20:25:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 05 11:19:08 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 11:19:08 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=185828
