The Well of Stars
The great ship is home to a multitude of alien races and a near-immortal crew. They have toured the Milky Way for millennia, the best and the brightest from a thousand worlds, but the true purpose of the ship has remained hidden. Now, time is running out. The huge spacecraft is heading for the dark, immense region of space known as the ink well, and the only entity in the universe more vast and mysterious than the great ship is lying in wait ...
Robert Reed returns to the epic universe of Marrow in this stunning new novel.

Down the Bright Way
In the deepness of space there are millions of worlds like our own. All are linked by the bright, a pathway between the stars, created by an ancient, godlike race known only as the makers.
Now humanity travels the bright, uniting its worlds to a common destiny and a better future. But they do not travel alone. For others have discovered this gateway to the stars and they are planning to use it for a far more deadly purpose.
A far future epic of breathtaking scope and boundless imagination, down the bright way is a spectacular novel from one of the giants of SF.

Sister Alice
Some 10 million years in the future, a thousand trustworthy humans and their
Cloned offspring have been granted an incredible power. With it they can build worlds wherever they wish and terraform any wasteland. With it they preserved a peace that lasted for eons.
But the arrival of a woman as old as the great peace itself generates uncertainty and fear. For she brings with her a dire warning: the tale of an ancient crime that may yet tear the universe asunder.
A far-future epic of god-like humans and their colossal blunders, Sister Alice is a novel of incredible imagination from the author of the acclaimed Marrow.
