For fans of science-based science fiction, where realistic universes, captivating ideas, and intriguing concepts grab your attention.
An epic conclusion to a large adventure: the final installment of the trilogy begun with “The Cup of Heaven” and “Starship.”
Beth Marble, Cliff Cammash, and other members of the starship “Sunseeker” crew who decided to stay in the Cup of Heaven eventually set off for the planet Gloria. After all, it was the original goal of their mission. They must explore this new and potentially dangerous world despite personal disagreements and emerging difficulties.
Gloria’s double system—like the Cup of Heaven—strikes with its intricate structure and mystery. Although representatives of its civilization seem friendly at first glance, the “Sunseeker” crew suspects that things aren’t quite as simple.
Intelligent beings from the Cup and Gloria are convinced that stable and progressive societies are impossible for species lacking certain abilities. In their view, humanity isn’t much different from primates and doesn’t meet the high standards of developed civilizations. Will people have to defend their right to exist—and at what cost?
