Mysterious travelers...impossible love...The year is 2034, and at the Sandaran Research Center, a young woman named Mozy participates in a cyberlink experiment via tachyon beam. So intimate is the connection that she falls hopelessly in love with her distant partner, David Kadin, a man she has met only through the link. Upon learning that the project is to be terminated-and wanting desperately to fulfill her dreams-Mozy makes a daring decision.Her choice catapults her into a flight of astounding discovery-one that puts her squarely in the path of a potential war, communication with the whales of Earth, and secret first contact with visitors from the stars. Are the aliens enemies or friends? No one knows, and now it may fall to this young woman alone to discover the truth. Caught in a telepathic link with the Talenki voyagers, Mozy's personal odyssey becomes entwined with the fate of all of Humanity.Combining visionary speculation with passionate human characters, The Infinity Link is an epic work of transcendent science fiction and an exploration into the very nature of humanity. From the Nebula-nominated author of Eternity's End and recipient of the Frank Herbert Lifetime Achievement Award for science fiction writing.REVIEWS:"A long, ambitious work, painted on a canvas as big as the solar system. The concept itself is even larger-the eventual linkup of various intelligent life forms of our galaxy, including humans, whales and several alien races.
