The mind-expanding journey that began with Noumenon and Noumenon
Infinity continues in this wondrous mosaic tale of deep space
exploration, adventure, and humanity that blends the awe, science,
and speculative imagination of Arthur C. Clarke, Neal Stephenson,
and Octavia Butler. Left to watch over a planet created by the
alien structure known as the Web, the ships of the NOUMENON convoy
and the artificial intelligence I.C.C. have lain dormant for
thousands of years. Now, though, creatures are stirring in the
convoy's halls. With seemingly miraculous speed, the planet is
coming to life. Where have these beings come from? And why? To
understand this new anomaly, I.C.C. reaches out to the descendants
of its original crew. Together, they will embark on a stunning
journey of discovery billions of years in the making. Noumenon
Ultra is the epic conclusion to one of the most remarkable
science-fiction series of the twenty-first century - a wondrous
exploration of space and of humanity's future.
Travel even further through space and time in the stunning sequel
to NOUMENON - a tale of exploration, adventure, and science. In
2125, the interstellar convoy NOUMENON set out on a voyage that
changed humanity's place in the universe forever. Three millenia
later, the convoy's remaining ships and the clone descendants of
its original crew are returning to the anomalous star LQ Pyxidis
with new dreams and new objectives. But NOUMENON was not the only
mission to leave Earth behind in the 22nd century. Physicist Vanhi
Kapoor is the leader of Convoy 12. Hers is the smallest Planet
United Mission and the only one working entirely within our solar
system, but as Vanhi's team pushes the boundaries of subdimensional
research further than ever before, disaster strikes. Suddenly, they
find themselves very far from home, with the unknown on their
horizon. NOUMENON INFINITY is the story of two missions, aeons and
light years apart. They are connected both by a spirit of adventure
and an interstellar mystery that transcends time and space.

'A striking adventure story that could hold a galaxy in its scope'
- KIRKUS REVIEWS Astrophysicist Reggie Straifer has discovered a
mysterious object in deep space: a strange star, blinking in a
seemingly impossible pattern. As humanity plans its first
adventures beyond the solar system, Reggie and thousands of others
join NOUMENON - a convoy of nine ships on a mission to reveal the
origins of this anomalous star. Is its strobing a natural
phenomenon or something far more alien? NOUMENON's voyage will take
centuries. To preserve their talents, the convoy is populated by
clones of its original crew. Born and reborn in a sealed society
with a single purpose, every individual and every generation must
come to terms with inheritances that go far beyond DNA. Marina J.
Lostetter's stunning debut explores the wonders of deep space and
the obsessions, fears and desires of humanity's first interstellar
travellers as they speed toward a single blinking star and a
discovery beyond their wildest imaginings.
