David Zindell is one of the most renowned American science fiction writers to emerge in the 1980s. His Requiem for Homo Sapiens tetralogy, set in the distant future and the infinite diversity of intelligence in the universe, brought him acclaim. The first novel in the series, Neverness (1985), was nominated for several awards and has been reprinted numerous times, translated into many languages.
In the future, 30,000 years removed from our time, on the planet Icefall, in its only city, Neverness, resides the Order of Mystic Mathematicians, divided into numerous factions, one of which is the pilots. These courageous individuals, maintaining a neural link with their ships, travel the universe. Sometimes they enter real space, sometimes they replace it with the space of mathematical sets, allowing them to traverse vast distances. Each time, it's a terrible risk, for mathematical space is treacherous and fraught with many threats—ships lost in the probability tree have often vanished without a trace. But the countless mysteries of the vast expanse continue to beckon explorers.
Find the legendary Old Earth? Unravel the secret of the mythical race that seeded the Galaxy with life and hid its collective mind in a black hole? Prove the Great Theorem, allowing one to travel from one star to another in a single leap?
For the young and pure of spirit, nothing is impossible!
