Publisher's Summary

At last - the ultimate book in the renowned Heechee Saga!

Advanced Heechee technology had enabled Robinette Broadhead to live after death as a machine-stored personality, enjoying his life by flitting along the wires from party to party with a host of other machine-people. But suddenly his decadent existence ends when an all-powerful alien race intent on the utter destruction of all intelligent life reappears after eons of silence, and threatens the lives of all heechee and humans. Even Robin, virtually immortal and with unlimited access to millennia of accumulated data, cannot discover how to stop these aliens. It began to seem that only a face to face meeting could determine the future of the entire universe....

A solid conclusion to a solid series

Pohl touched on topics and ideas in this book that would go on to influence series such as The culture series and We are Legion, exploring ideas(lightly) ahead of their time. It became a bit tiring to spend so much time in conversations with Albert and to rehash Robbie's neuroticism again and again but there rest was a solid read. Great narration
