Summary

The mind-expanding journey that began with Noumenon and Noumenon Infinity continues in this wondrous mosaic tale of deep space exploration, adventure and humanity that blends the awe, science and speculative imagination of Arthur C. Clarke, Neal Stephenson and Octavia Butler.

Left to watch over a planet created by the alien structure known as the Web, the ships of the Noumenon convoy and the artificial intelligence I.C.C. have lain dormant for thousands of years. Now, though, creatures are stirring in the convoy’s halls. With seemingly miraculous speed, the planet is coming to life. Where have these beings come from? And why?

To understand this new anomaly, I.C.C. reaches out to the descendants of its original crew. Together, they will embark on a stunning journey of discovery billions of years in the making. Noumenon Ultra is the epic conclusion to one of the most remarkable science-fiction series of the 21st century - a wondrous exploration of space and of humanity’s future.

Critic reviews

"Sci-fi action and adventure held together by universally human themes; this is the genre at its very best." (Kirkus)

"A grand interstellar quest that marries intimate detail with the sweep of social change and discovery across generations. I was enthralled." (Yoon Ha Lee, author of Ninefox Gambit)

"Lostetter remains at the forefront of innovation in hard science fiction." (Publishers Weekly)

Such a drop in quality from the first two books.

Dull story. Just completely dull. Also, the narration of the “baby voice” is awful. It’s jarring and brings you out of the story. Ugh.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
