The Galactic Center Companion
Second Edition: Includes New Stories
Death came in on sixteen legs.
So begins a novella set in the Galactic Center series, �A Hunger for the Infinite.� Now this novella and much other writing about the science and fiction in the series, appears in one volume. Unique in literature, the series comes from the author�s own scientific research. The series took a quarter century to complete, and Benford traces his own research into the strange structures there, first discovered in the 1980s. Critics have described the six novels as �magnificent� by �the most rigorous of hard SF writers.� The series has been called �one of the greatest sf series ever written,� �a major achievement in realizing the potential of hard SF not only as speculation, but as literature,� with �a bardic heft worthy of Poul Anderson.� �No one has surpassed this ground-breaking achievement in mapping the unmappable depths of space, time, and consciousness.�
For the first time, all the depth surrounding the series is collected in one volume.
