Gravity Dreams

Gravity Dreams Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In Earth's distant future, Tyndel is both teacher and mentor, a staunch devotee to his conservative and rigidly structured religious culture. Then a rogue infection of nanotechnology transforms him into a "demon", something more than human, and he is forced into exile, fleeing to the more technologically advanced space-faring civilization that lies to the north, one that his own righteous people consider evil. Although shaken by his transformation, he has the rare talent required to become a space pilot. What no one, least of all Tyndel, expects, is his deep-space encounter with a vastly superior being--perhaps with God.

Andrew Platt, June 8, 2007 (view all comments by Andrew Platt)
Modesitt takes what might have been a simplistic juxtuposition of a theocracy against modernity, and turns it instead into a fascinating rendition of morality and human nature, set against a fabulous backdrop of science fiction. Rather than serving as one-dimensional set-pieces designed for the purpose of presenting a certain viewpoint, his characters are fascinating in and of themselves, allowing the reader to see each side of a question without forcing the issue.
