Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In 1912, history was changed by the Miracle, when the old world of Europe was replaced by Darwinia, a strange land of nightmarish jungle and antediluvian monsters. To some, the Miracle was an act of divine retribution; to others, it is an opportunity to carve out a new empire. Leaving an America now ruled by religious fundamentalists, young Guilford Law travels to Darwinia on a mission of discovery that will take him further than he can possibly imagine...to a shattering revelation about mankind's destiny in the universe. Review:"Rarely does one find excellent writing or an inspired plot. Here, Wilson has combined both with memorable characters, a dangerous but enticing new world, and a subtle, complex, and marvelously inventive story." VOYA Review:"[B]rilliantly imagined." Kirkus Reviews Review:"In the best tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Jules Verne, and H. G. Wells....A page-turner." Toronto Globe and Mail Review:"Wilson's novel is flawed, perhaps, by its giddy metaphysical interludes, but even so, it is eerie, paranoid, and menacing." Booklist About the AuthorRobert Charles Wilson's novels include Darwinia; The Chronoliths and Blind Lake, which were finalists for SF's Hugo Award; and Spin, which won the 2006 Hugo for best novel.
