The Omega Point Trilogy
An omibus edition of The Omega Point, Ashes and Stars and Mirror of Minds.
"An impressive achievement – and exciting story, which also shows that
man's future control of the environment, even of his own body and mind,
will scarcely bring control of himself." – Poul Anderson
6599 A.D. The war
between the Earth Federation and the Herculean Empire had been over for
more than three centuries. The planet in the Hercules Globular Cluster
was a cinder; the few descendents of the surviving Herculeans lived on
Myraa's World, half a galaxy away, in what seemed to be a religious
commune. But on an unnamed planet, deep within the Hercules Cluster,
two survivors, father and son, gather their resources and plan reign of
terror against Federation worlds. But the woman Myraa has a different
vision – one which excludes empires and warring armies. Subtly, she
strives to shape events toward a different end. Rising to one the most
unusual climaxes in recent fantastic literature, this novel of chase
and vengeance depicts a colorful, poetic future which is struggling to
overcome its past. Filled with striking twists and vivid ideas, this is
space opera at its most modern.
