As a consequence of this mission, and through the wonders of alien technology, Bandicut and Charlie wind up at a place called Shipworld, out at the edge of our galaxy. That’s just the starting point, of course. Guided by Charlie the quarx and a strange alien being/machine called the translator, Bandicut steals a spaceship and rockets off in an attempt to save Earth from a rogue comet. Our hero John Bandicut makes the first human contact with an alien intelligence, out on Neptune’s moon Triton, in the person of a noncorporeal named Charlie, who takes up residence in his mind-and proposes a preposterous-sounding mission. The Chaos Chronicles is a long story arc that starts a couple of centuries in the future and goes forward from there. Please give us a short introduction to what The Chaos Chronicles is about. As our Author of the Day, Carver tells us more about The Chaos Chronicles. His novels combine thought-provoking characters with engaging storytelling, and range from the adventures of the Star Rigger universe (Star Rigger’s Way, Dragons in the Stars, and others) to the ongoing, character-driven hard SF of The Chaos Chronicles-which begins with Neptune Crossing and continues with Strange Attractors, The Infinite Sea, Sunborn, and coming in 2019, The Reefs of Time and its conclusion, Crucible of Time. He also authored Battlestar Galactica, a novelization of the critically acclaimed television miniseries. CARVER was a Nebula Award finalist for his novel Eternity’s End.
