Ancient travelers. Hopeless love. Astonishing encounter.

The year is 2034, and at the Sandaran Link Research Center, a test subject named Mozelle Moi participates in a long-distance cyberlink experiment via tachyon beam. Through the link, her partner David Kadin—a man she has never met in person—becomes so real and intimate that the friendship they have forged in virtual space turns inexorably into love. Mozy, learning that the project is to be terminated—and wanting only to fulfill her love—makes a daring decision, one that will upend her life into a flight of fear and astounding discovery.

Trapped by her love for Kadin, Mozy finds herself enmeshed in a secret project to make first contact with visitors from the stars. Are the aliens enemies or friends? No one knows, and it may fall to this young, inexperienced woman to discover the truth. Caught in a telepathic link with the Talenki voyagers, Mozy's personal odyssey becomes entwined with the fate of all of Humanity.

Combining visionary scientific speculation with passionate human characters, The Infinity Link is an epic work of transcendent science fiction and an exploration into the very nature of humanity. From the Nebula-nominated author of Eternity’s End, and recipient of the Helicon Awards’ Frank Herbert Lifetime Achievement Award for science fiction writing.

“A long, ambitious work, painted on a canvas as big as the solar system. The concept itself is even larger—the eventual linkup of various intelligent life forms of our galaxy, including humans, whales and several alien races.  Carver carefully sets up his story and develops it in a meticulous fashion...it works very well.” —Publishers Weekly
