Description
The very far future: A Galaxy-spanning intelligence cradles memories of a long-gone age when a more compact universe was full of light. In this vast expanse, Proxima Centauri, an undistinguished red dwarf star, is the nearest to host a world, Proxima IV, habitable by humans. Proxima IV is unlike Earth in many ways. Huddling close to the warmth, orbiting in weeks, it keeps one face to its parent star at all times. The 'substellar point', with the star forever overhead, is a blasted desert, and the 'antistellar point' on the far side is under an ice cap in perpetual darkness. The tale of how we colonise this harsh new world is told in Proxima, a thought-provoking and compelling read that explores the secret we find there that will change our role in the Universe for ever.
