Entire and the Rose #02: A World Too Near

by Kay Kenyon

Entire and the Rose #02: A World Too Near Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"The fate of two universes hangs in the balance in this intricately plotted sequel to Bright of the Sky (2007). To sustain the constructed universe called the Entire, the alien Tarig have built the engine of Ahnenhoon, designed to turn the Rose — Earth's universe — into a power source. Earth's survival depends on pilot Titus Quinn's plan to destroy the engine, but ambitious scientist Helice Maki claims Titus may instead use the mission to seek his missing daughter, Sydney, lost somewhere in the Entire. Successfully scheming her way into accompanying Titus, Helice plots to steal his nanotech weaponry and grab power from the Tarig. Titus's only hope may be his wife, Johanna, captured 10 years ago by the Tarig, who has slowly taught herself enough about the engine to have a chance of disabling it. Tangled motivations, complex characters and intriguing world-building will keep readers on the edges of their seats." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:

In Bright of the Sky, Kay Kenyon introduced a milieu unique in science fiction and fantasy: The Entire. Former star pilot Titus Quinn loves The Entire, but now he must risk annihilating it by destroying the fortress of Ahnenhoon. As Quinn wrestles with looming disaster and approaches the fabled concentric rings of Ahnenhoons defenses, he learns that in the Entire, nothing is what it appears. Its denizens are all harboring secrets, and the greatest of these is the nature of the Entire itself.
