About this listen
A young man's odyssey of self discovery in a world eerily alien, yet hauntingly familiar. Set 13 centuries in the future, A. A. Attanasio meticulously creates a brilliantly realized Earth, rich in detail and filled with beings brought to life with intense energy. In this strange and beautiful world, Sumner Kagan will change from an adolescent outcast to a warrior with god-like powers and in the process take us on an epic and transcendent journey.

Story
One star-chained evening in a Manhattan bathroom, Carl Schirmer spontaneously combusts! His body transforms into light, mysteriously snatched from his banal life by an alien intelligence 130 billion years in the future. There, all spacetime is collapsing into a cosmic black hole, the Big Crunch – and a bold, cosmic destiny awaits Carl. Rebuilt from the remnants of his light by extraterrestrials for a cryptic purpose, he awakens in time’s last world, the strangest of all – the Werld.

Story
A Fire Upon the Deep is the big, breakout book that fulfills the promise of Vinge's career to date: a gripping tale of galactic war told on a cosmic scale. Thousands of years hence, many races inhabit a universe where a mind's potential is determined by its location in space, from superintelligent entities in the Transcend, to the limited minds of the Unthinking Depths, where only simple creatures and technology can function.

In the holy city of Tova, the winter solstice is usually a time for celebration and renewal, but this year it coincides with a solar eclipse, a rare celestial even proscribed by the Sun Priest as an unbalancing of the world. Meanwhile, a ship launches from a distant city bound for Tova and set to arrive on the solstice. The captain of the ship, Xiala, is a disgraced Teek whose song can calm the waters around her as easily as it can warp a man’s mind. Her ship carries one passenger.

When Michael Moorcock began chronicling the adventures of the albino sorcerer Elric, last king of decadent Melniboné, and his sentient vampiric sword, Stormbringer, he set out to create a new kind of fantasy adventure, one that broke with tradition and reflected a more up-to-date sophistication of theme and style. The result was a bold and unique hero: a rock-and-roll antihero who would channel all the violent excesses of the '60s into one enduring archetype.

The year is 2380. The Intersolar Commonwealth, a sphere of stars some 400 light-years in diameter, contains more than 600 worlds, interconnected by a web of transport "tunnels" known as wormholes. At the farthest edge of the Commonwealth, astronomer Dudley Bose observes the impossible: Over 1,000 light-years away, a star...vanishes. It does not go supernova. It does not collapse into a black hole. It simply disappears.

You define life or it defines you. In Shawn Speakman’s case, it was both. Lacking health insurance and diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011, Shawn quickly accrued a massive medical debt that he did not have the ability to pay. That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story that Shawn could sell to help alleviate those bills—and suggested he ask the same of his other writer friends. Unfettered is the result: An anthology built in order to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre.

Starts out well then ends with poor attempt at profundity.
The author’s attempt to describe grandiose universal cosmic meaning defy logic and become nonsensical. Coupled with a sincere tone of the performance, it becomes almost laughable... then annoying.
The beginning of the story and the character development is enjoyable, but that’s about it.

A long time favorite, by destiny or choice?
I've been reading this book since middle-school (as well as Last legends of the planet Earth) back in the 80s. It pulls and tugs on many strings of thought, philosophy, and disciplines. I thought of Howlies and Haoles, how those in my church told me of a destiny, and how my physical traits garnered different responses from bullies and benefactors. Sumner Kagan, the protagonist, shared part of my existence from his start to the book's end.
I'm not saying too much about the book itself, though, am I? Well, reader, or un-reader, just know that there's a dystopian future ahead of you, castes based on genetics, and a touch of metaphysics. Don't dwell on how things work now, they'll work differently then. If you're prone to melancholy, maybe skip this for now. As much as I love this book, it drags me down after consuming it. Every time. It's the only one that does, though. Hit Last Legends of the planet Earth or his excellent "Perilous Order of Camelot" series as well.

Boring attempt at fantasy
This is a very weak sci-fi fantasy book. Sumner is an incels wet dream, and he spends the length of the book refusing to learn or adapt within the world, and yet in doing so he not only because a world class assassin, but also overcomes his child (who is a ruler of vor that has been prophesied for generations) and eventually becomes a god himself and chooses to end the world. Might sound interest but when you have hours upon hours of boring unproductive introspection hidden behind 3 cent words, you will end this book with a bad taste in your mouth. The reader did the best he could, but maybe the writer should just make campaign setting for home brew dnd games, he wouldn't know character development if it slapped him in the face.
