A Hard Sci-Fi Epic of Cryo-Sleep Hibernation, Deep-Space Exploration, and Immortality

In 2010, as nuclear war devastates Earth, medical researcher Dr. Vincent Woolford discovers a revolutionary metabolic state called "S-sleep"—a deep hibernation process that drastically slows human aging and extends lifespans across centuries. A small group of survivors enters S-sleep aboard orbital starships to escape planetary extinction.

Awakening thousands of years in the future, the immortal crew of the starship Long Shot explores a transformed galaxy populated by fragmented human colonies. Navigating deep space anomalies and temporal shifts, Woolford's team searches for the origin of humanity and the ultimate limits of physical existence.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Physicist Charles Sheffield crafts a hard science fiction masterpiece grounded in real astrophysics, cryonics, and deep-space mechanics. Essential reading for fans of Greg Bear, Larry Niven, Stephen Baxter, and Alastair Reynolds.
