Life has spread across the stars, and everyone enjoys a long life. However, only those who are Earth-born are truly immortal.
But what happens when the immortals of Earth are suddenly faced with their ultimate destruction?
Hanosz Prime, a near-immortal (though not truly so, not being of true Earth stock) travels to humanity's ancient home to discover the ultimate answer to jumanity's end.
A new Silverberg story in the tradition of the old classics, with an accompanying novella by up-and-coming writer Alvaro Zinos-Amaro.
