“Lostetter remains at the forefront of innovation in hard science

fiction.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

The mind-expanding journey that began with Noumenon and

Noumenon Infinity continues in this wondrous mosaic tale of deep space

exploration, adventure, and humanity that blends the awe, science, and

speculative imagination of Arthur C. Clarke, Neal Stephenson, and Octavia

Butler.

Deep in the heart of an alien mountain range, I.C.C. has lain dormant, its

ships silent, for eons. Now, after one hundred thousand years, the AI is

awakening. Someone is roaming the convoy's halls—someone that isn't human.

This planet, Noumenon—created by the megastructure known as the Web—is too

young and brutal to have evolved intelligent life. Its surface is bombarded by

unusual meteors. Crystal trees abruptly and violently arise from its bedrock.

Its solar system is surrounded by a frightening space-time anomaly. So where did

these visitors come from? What do they want? And do the people of Earth, whose

ancestors launched Convoy Seven, know they are here?

I.C.C. reaches out to the descendants of its convoy crew to help decipher

this primordial riddle. Noumenon was created and seeded by ancient aliens, and

clearly their plans for it are unfinished. Together, the AI, the new lifeforms

who have awakened it, and the humans will embark on an epic adventure of

discovery billions of years in the making.

wow.. what an utter nightmare

why is it that the one book in a series that isnt audible plus, is always the worst?!
what a disappointment. the first 2 books were riveting. this book is beyond awful. i had to listen to the first chapter, 3 times because it was so dang boring i realized i hadnt absorbed any of it.
once they went too far into the modified humans it was ruined. why not introduce another convoy that could have met up during a time that was lasped over?
this story is going absolutely nowhere. all the characters are not even 1 dimensional. this book is comolete garbage.
i had wondered how one could write so many hours of good content. it turns out there is a limit.

Ridiculous writing

Literal sentence from the book.

"Whether she/ they had completed her/ their task."

Lazy writing.

Turn away now. Not with reading

beware the politically correct nightmare

I hate to see this happen to a unique and intriguing syfy series. unfortunately the author of this story seems to Ulterior motives with this book. there excessive use of the "they them" pronoun finally caused me to give up on rhe book. it feels as if every one of the plethora of "main characters" have something in regards to the LGBTQ+. it feels very forced and like I'm trying to chock down an entire collage campus worth of propaganda. However even with that being said, it is a very intriguing story. one rhat I'd highly recommend. just make stick with the first two, and save yourself the credit. (sure wish I had)
