Description
Greg Egan's Perihelion Summer is set against the backdrop of an impending cosmic event: a black hole one tenth the mass of the sun is about to enter the solar system. As the world struggles to adapt, Matt and his friends take drastic measures to ensure their survival. They board a mobile aquaculture rig, the Mandjet, which becomes their self-sustaining refuge from the unknown dangers that lie ahead. But as Taraxippus draws nearer, new observations throw the original predictions for its trajectory into doubt, and by the time it leaves the solar system, the conditions of life across the globe will be changed forever. This thought-provoking novel explores the human response to a massive challenge, and asks us to consider why we might not be able to adapt as well in our own great challenge.
