Hello Folks,

two-thirds of us liking our book, Solaris by Stanislaw Lem. For our next book,
we’ve chosen a tale of romance and first contact in The Infinity Link by
Jeffrey A. Carver.
The next meeting of the Science Fiction club will be on Thursday, April 14,
2016.

The NLS annotation reads:
This science fiction tale combines romance, political intrigue, and contact
with beings from the far reaches of outer space.
Here is Bookshare’s Long Synopsis:
In the year 2034, a young woman named Mozelle Moi learns that her work as a test
subject in a top-secret tachyon transmission project will soon be terminated.
The
purpose of the project has never been revealed to her; she only knows she is in
love
with David Kadin, a man she has met only through the tachyon cyberlink.
Desperate
not to lose her chance at love, she conspires with a programmer friend to join
her
with Kadin through the tachyon transmitter.She succeeds--but the truth that
awaits
her at the end of the tachyon beam is one that will shatter not only her own
ambitions
of love, but the plans of a secret government program to establish contact with
visitors
from the stars. Trapped by her love for Kadin, and caught in a telepathic link
with
the ancient Talenki voyagers, Mozy's personal odyssey becomes irrevocably
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.
Join us next month to talk about this book, or anything else related to SF
literature.
