A space salvager and her partner make the discovery of a lifetime
that just might change the universe in this wild, big-ideas space
opera from multi award-winning author Elizabeth Bear. Haimey Dz
thinks she knows what she wants. She thinks she knows who she is.
She is wrong. A routine salvage mission uncovers evidence of a
terrible crime and relics of a powerful ancient technology, just as
Haimey and her small crew run afoul of pirates at the outer limits
of the Milky Way and find themselves both on the run, and in
possession of ancient, universe-changing technology. When the
authorities prove corrupt, it becomes clear that Haimey is the only
one who can protect her galaxy-spanning civilisation from its
potential power - and from the revolutionaries who want to use it
to seed terror and war. But doing so will take her from the event
horizon of the super-massive black hole at the galaxy's core to the
infinite, empty spaces at its edge. Along the way, she'll have to
uncover the secrets of ancient intelligences lost to time as well
as her own lost secrets, which she will wish had remained hidden
from her forever . . . Energetic and electrifying, Ancestral Night
is a dazzling new space opera, sure to delight fans of Alastair
Reynolds, Iain M. Banks, and Peter F. Hamilton. Praise for
Elizabeth Bear 'Gripping, perfectly balanced, and highly
recommended' Kirkus 'Like the best of speculative fiction, Bear has
created a fascinating and complete universe that blends high-tech
gadgetry with Old World adventure and political collusion'
