In the thrilling conclusion to Nancy Kress's award-winning Probability Trilogy, humanity's war with the alien Fallers reaches a critical juncture as four unlikely allies risk everything to turn the tide of the conflict.
Nancy Kress cemented her reputation in SF with the publication of her multiple-award–winning novella, "Beggars in Spain," which became the basis for her extremely successful Beggars Trilogy (comprising Beggars in Spain, Beggars and Choosers, and Beggars Ride).
In Probability Space, the war with the implacable Fallers continues, and humanity is losing. Our only hope lies with an improbable coalition: Major Lyle Kaufman, a retired warrior; Marbet Grant, a Sensitive involved with Kaufman; Amanda, a confused fourteen-year-old girl; and Magdalena, a powerful broker in human space.
As civil unrest spreads on Earth and the battle rages in deep space, these four individuals--armed with a desperate, unproven theory--attempt to enter the Fallers' home star system. It's a daring gamble that could decide the fate of the entire universe.
Spanning from Earth to Mars and beyond, Probability Space is an epic tale of alien contact, interplanetary intrigue, and the indomitable human spirit. This gripping space opera concludes the trilogy that began with Probability Moon and Probability Sun, set in the same universe as Kress's Nebula Award-winning novelette, "Flowers of Aulit Prison."

Nancy Kress
Nancy Kress was born and raised in upstate New York, where she spent most of her childhood either reading or playing in the woods. She earned a bachelor's and master's degree in education, as well as an M.A. in English. While she was pregnant with the second of her two sons, she started writing fiction. She had never planned on becoming a writer, but staying at home full-time with infants left her time to experiment. In 1990 she went full-time as an SF writer. The first thing she wrote in this new status was the novella version of Beggars In Spain, which won both the Hugo and the Nebula Award. She is the author of more than twenty books, including more than a dozen novels of science fiction and fantasy, as well as three story collections, and two books on writing. Of her most recent novels, Probability Space (Tor, 2002) won the John W. Campbell Award for Best SF novel. Her short fiction has appeared in all the usual places, garnering her one Hugo and three Nebula Awards. Her work has been translated into Swedish, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Japanese, Croatian, Lithuanian, Romanian, Greek, Hebrew, and Russian. She is also the monthly "Fiction" columnist for Writer's Digest Magazine and she teaches writing regularly at various places, including Clarion and The Writing Center in Bethesda, Maryland. She currently resides in Rochester, New York.
