So a small team is assembled to learn more - perhaps even who built the hole and why. Their mission will take them on a hazardous trek to the very edge of existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor one explorer, this is the opportunity of a lifetime. For another, a risk not worth taking. And for xenobiologist Alex Crichton, it's a desperate attempt to find meaning in an uncaring universe. But every step they take towards that mysterious abyss is more punishing than the last. Ultimately, no one is prepared for what they will encounter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePraise for To Sleep in a Sea of Stars:'Big and fun - the book Paolini fans have been waiting for' - John Scalzi'A fun, fast-paced epic that science fiction fans will gobble up' - Kirkus Reviews'An epic tale of first contact, travels to the edge of the galaxy, and just maybe the fate of all humankind' - Goodreads\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40578809921671,"sku":"9781035001118","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/products\/9781035001118.jpg?v=1694538819","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.pro\/products\/9781035001118","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
