Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. An accessible and deeply human sci-fi epic. The explosive follow-up to C.A. Higgins' debut Lightless--a Gravity-esque tale of survival on a military ship in deep space.C. A. Higgins's acclaimed novel Lightless fused suspenseful storytelling, high-caliber scientific speculation, and richly developed characters into a stunning science fiction epic. Now the dazzling Supernova heightens the thrills and deepens the haunting exploration of technology and humanity-and the consequences that await when the two intersect.Once Ananke was an experimental military spacecraft. But a rogue computer virus transformed it-her-into something much more- a fully sentient artificial intelligence, with all the power of a god-and all the unstable emotions of a teenager.Althea, the ship's engineer and the last living human aboard, nearly gave her life to save Ananke from dangerous saboteurs, forging a bond as powerful as that between mother and daughter. Now she devotes herself completely to Ananke's care. But teaching a thinking, feeling machine-perhaps the most dangerous force in the galaxy-to be human proves a monumental challenge. When Ananke decides to seek out Matthew Gale, the terrorist she regards as her father, Althea learns that some bonds are stronger than mortal minds can understand-or control.Drawn back toward Earth by the quest, Althea and Ananke will find themselves in the thick of a violent revolution led by Matthew's sister, the charismatic leader Constance, who will stop at nothing to bring down a tyrannical surveillance state. As the currents of past decisions and present desires come into stark collision, a new and fiery future is about to be born.Praise for Supernova"An enjoyable, hard science fiction adventure."-Cinelinx"Higgins succeeds in expanding her universe and leaving the reader hungry to learn how her debut trilogy will end."-New York Daily News"Riveting and thought-provoking."-Publishers WeeklyPraise for C. A. Higgins's Lightless"Gripping . . . sci-fi with a hint of thriller."-New York Daily News" A measured, lovely science-fiction debut that is more psychological thriller . . . contained, disciplined, tense . . . The plot is compulsive. . . . Lightless is the first of a planned series, and you can't help looking forward to learning what's next."-The New York Times"The stakes in this story are high-life and death, rebellion and betrayal. . . .
