The Omega Expedition "Brian Stableford has triumphantly created his own niche of hard biological SF, containing the genre's most intelligently imagined marvels and nightmares."David Langford The Omega Expedition is a philosophical novel, an independent work, but also a sequel to both Inherit the Earth and The Fountains of Youth. It begins with the extraordinary life-history of Adam Zimmerman, developer of the technology of emortality. The main part of the narrative describes his long-delayed awakening into the 35th century, a time of true immortals. His exotic hosts--inhabitants of a microworld in the outer solar system--have recruited various interested parties to help with the project, one of whom (inevitably) is the famous historian of death, the immortal Mortimer Gray, who is exceedingly anxious to gain what insight he can into the vagaries of the mortal mind. The Omega Expedition is a richly textured, serious SF novel that will resound like a huge bell, ringing down the halls of science fiction for years to come. "A series which contains some of the most compelling and richly philosophical speculation about the coming centuries, and about the role of death in human affairs."Locus "This is the soul of scrupulous speculation at its finest."Science Fiction Weekly on The Omega ExpeditionStableford, Brian M. is the author of 'Omega Expedition' with ISBN 9780765305985 and ISBN 0765305984.
