Review

"[A]n astonishingly successful melange of SF thriller, growing-up saga, tender love story, father-son conflict, ecological parable and apocalyptic fable in prose that sings the music of the spheres." (starred review)

"[A] thoroughly original, altogether weird post-apocalyptic thriller....[E]ngaging."

"[A] fascinating time-odyssey that pushes the envelope in every direction."

Annotation

Three friends grow up on a bizarrely altered Earth in this sweeping SF novel. Mysterious alien beings enclose the Earth inside a barrier, cutting it off from the stars and moon. While the sun continues to heat the Earth, it can no longer be seen properly. Far more alarming is the discovery that time passes far more slowly on Earth than it does beyond the barrier--about 100 million times more slowly--and the sun is scheduled to burn out in a few decades. As scientist Jason Lawton races against the artificially accelerated clock in a desperate attempt to preserve life on Earth, his sister Diane and his friend Tyler find their own ways to deal with the looming catastrophe.
