About this listen

Perhaps it wasn't from our time, perhaps it wasn't even from our universe, but the arrival of the 300-kilometer long stone was the answer to humanity's desperate plea to end the threat of nuclear war. Inside the deep recesses of the stone lies Thistledown: the remnants of a human society, versed in English, Russian and Chinese. The artifacts of this familiar people foretell a great Death caused by the ravages of war, but the government and scientists are unable to decide how to use this knowledge. Deeper still within the stone is the Way. For some the Way means salvation from death, for others it is a parallel world where loved ones live again. But, unlike Thistledown, the Way is not entirely dead, and the inhabitants hold the knowledge of a present war, over a million miles away, using weapons far more deadly than any that mankind has ever conceived.

This is epic, the narrator did a great job.
The story and the detailing of the visualisations is just amazing.
Loved it.
would love to see this adapted into a multipart movie or a webseries.

This story deserves a "webseries"

one of the best sci fi novel I've ever read. it will take you to wonderful, impossible imaginations. greg bear tried to describe the world through his eyes. but it becomes difficult at times to visualize the scene in my mind. there must be some illustrations by bear. so that i can comprehend exactly what he is trying to say. plasma tube, flaw, way, axis city etc must be illustrated somewhere. sometimes my imagination can't figure thosr scenes. millions of km is a very small unit in this book. everything is so vast. one should read who loves to imagine and live in those worlds.

it's an epic
