REVIEWS:
"A mesmerizing tale of human perseverance and courage under pressure that updates the legend of the Flying Dutchman." -- Library Journal

"Carver never runs out of new plot twists to keep the reader coming back for more." -- The Washington Post
"Jeff Carver's Eternity's End is a fast-moving high-space epic of complex intrigue, desperate action, and romantic love, set in the daringly imagined far-future universe of his more-than-human star-riggers and the cosmic flux where they fly." --Jack Williamson, author of Terraforming Earth
"One of the few hard SF writers whose characters are as interesting as the deep science." --Melissa Scott, author of Dreamships and Trouble and Her Friends
"High adventure in the wonder-filled depths of space with characters you'll remember long after you finish reading the last page." --Joan D. Vinge, author of The Snow Queen
