But as tensions mount over the risks of turning the ship around and starting the long voyage home, a new complication arises: the prospect of constructing a messaging system that will give the Peerless news of its own future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile some see this as a guarantee of safety and a chance to learn of their mission’s ultimate success, others are convinced that the knowledge will be oppressive or worse—that the system could be abused. The conflict over this proposed communication system tears the travelers’ society apart, culminating in terrible violence. To save the Peerless and its mission, two rivals must travel to a world where time runs in reverse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContinuing the epic multiple generation-spanning scope of \u003ci\u003eThe Clockwork Rocket\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Eternal Flame\u003c\/i\u003e, Greg Egan’s Orthogonal series has continuously pushed the boundaries of scientific fiction without ever losing track of the lives of the individuals carrying out this grand mission. \u003ci\u003eThe Arrows of Time\u003c\/i\u003e brings this fascinating space opera to a close.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSkyhorse Publishing, under our Night Shade and Talos imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of titles for readers interested in science fiction (space opera, time travel, hard SF, alien invasion, near-future dystopia), fantasy (grimdark, sword and sorcery, contemporary urban fantasy, steampunk, alternative history), and horror (zombies, vampires, and the occult and supernatural), and much more.
