A SHIP FULL OF WORLDS, AND A BOOJUM. John Bandicut faces a world of uncertainties. Having saved Earth from destruction, he is exiled to the edge of the galaxy-where he finds an unimaginably vast structure, peopled by refugees from countless doomed planets. Magellan-fish. Shadow-people. Bandicut and his two robots must find their own way. But they are not long alone; others share a similar fate. With newfound alien companions Ik and Li-Jared-and the beautiful humanoid woman, Antares-Bandicut becomes caught up in a struggle to save another world: Shipworld itself. The foe this time is not a rogue comet but a malicious AI dubbed the boojum. From the floor of a star-spanner factory, to the galactic melting-pot cities of Shipworld, to the frightening Tree of Ice, where control of Shipworld is centered, the boojum threatens to tear Shipworld apart. And it will likely succeed, if the new band of unlikely heroes can't find a way to stop it. This second volume of The Chaos Chronicles continues the headlong tumble through the worlds of fascinating aliens and believable characters that are a hallmark of Nebula-nominated Jeffrey A. Carver. "A dazzling, thrilling, innovative space opera." -Kirkus Reviews
