{"product_id":"blindsight-firefall-1","title":"Blindsight (Firefall, 1)","description":"Hugo and Shirley Jackson award-winning Peter Watts stands on the cutting edge of hard SF with his acclaimed novel, Blindsight\n\nTwo months since the stars fell...\n\nTwo months of silence, while a world held its breath.\n\nNow some half-derelict space probe, sparking fitfully past Neptune's orbit, hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system: a faint signal sweeping the cosmos like a lighthouse beam. Whatever's out there isn't talking to us. It's talking to some distant star, perhaps. Or perhaps to something closer, something en route.\n\nSo who do you send to force introductions with unknown and unknowable alien intellect that doesn't wish to be met?\n\nYou send a linguist with multiple personalities, her brain surgically partitioned into separate, sentient processing cores. You send a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultrasound. You send a pacifist warrior in the faint hope she won't be needed. You send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist―an informational topologist with half his mind gone―as an interface between here and there.\n\nPray they can be trusted with the fate of a world. They may be more alien than the thing they've been sent to find.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1250237483\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1250237483.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Watts, Peter\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
