Synopsis

FOLLOWING ON FROM EXTINCTION GAME AND SURVIVAL GAME…THE THIRD AND FINAL VOLUME OF THE SAGA OF THE PATHFINDERS

It's the end of the world...again.

Over the years, the Pathfinders - each the sole survivor of a humanity-destroying apocalypse, but on different alternate Earths - have become a tight-knit team as they search for an alternate they, along with the Authority, might one day call home.

Now, at last, one has been found: an Edenic alternate Earth on which humanity never evolved. But just when their work seems over, new threats emerge.

One comes from within the Authority itself, but the other is so completely unexpected that the Pathfinders are quickly overwhelmed.

The race is on to deal with the final - and greatest - threat this rag-tag band of survivors have yet encountered as they journey through alternate Earths rendered lifeless by rogue singularities or littered with ancient and perilous ruins. Faced with their own extinction, can they pull together one last time…as well as save the Authority from itself?

“…a master of core sf.” - THE GUARDIAN

“…a leading light of modern sf.” - FANTASY BOOK CRITIC

"One of the top SF writers active today . . . In the right hands SF can be wonderful, inventive and hugely enjoyable - and Gary Gibson is just that sort of author." - WALKEROFWORLDS.COM

"To be considered alongside the leading triumvirate of British hard SF writers: Alastair Reynolds, Peter F. Hamilton, and Neal Asher."  THE GUARDIAN

"A fast-paced post-apocalyptic thriller that builds to an exciting conclusion." - SCIFIBULLETIN.COM on Extinction Game

"Believable characters, interesting situations, stunning settings, and, above all else, a compulsively readable story makes this a must-read for sci-fi fans. Highly recommended." - SFFWORLD.COM on Extinction Game

"Gibson’s take on two thoroughly familiar tropes (Cold War + apocalypse) is actually quite refreshing . . . The prose is also satisfyingly good." - FANTASYLITERATURE.COM on Survival Game

"Gibson turns the genre on its head . . . He excels at depicting real-feeling destruction and the tenacity and weaknesses of survivors, along with the moral wrestling of survivor guilt. This potent, teeth-gritting SF thriller shows death and love only a shadow away from our ordinary lives." - PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY starred review of Extinction Game

"Gibson has certainly proved himself a name to watch." - SFX on Extinction Game
