"conceptually Eon knocks Rama out of the park ... a classic of breathless exploration" - Stephen Baxter

"There should be a picture of Eon in the dictionary: right next to 'Sense-of-wonder-SF'" - Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars

"When I look for SF, it's BECAUSE of this book" - Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars

Above our planet hangs a hollow Stone, it came from out of nothingness and into Earth's orbit. Within it there are a vast number of chambers to explore, containing forests, lakes, and rivers. Some chambers even contain deserted cities, and the remains of a lost civilisation. Scientists determined that the Stone was from space... but perhaps not our space; that it came from the future... but perhaps not our future.

While scientists and politicians bicker about how to use their newfound discoveries, the Stone harbours a secret that makes even Earth's survival pale into insignificance.

Greg Bear is one of the world's leading hard SF authors. A multiple Hugo and Nebula award winner, he sold his first short story, at the age of fifteen, to Robert Lowndes's Famous Science Fiction. His novels Blood Music and Eon are both Gollancz Masterworks. A full-time writer, he lives in Washington with his family.
