After the Revelation

In this breathless sequel to Revelations of Time and Space, Brian Stableford guides us through the hours aboard the spaceship Minerva during which psychic contact with the Saturnian intelligences now known as "the Bells" is renewed. In the claustrophobic, would-be Utopia of the small spaceship, with the fate of the disaster-stricken human race at stake, the minutes and hours are as expansive as those during experimental surgery, and that's without the subtle manipulations of time that Denise Corcoran senses are taking place, with the spaceship under the Bells' influence.

Will Zephaniah Corcoran's second contact with the Bells answer the questions raised by the first contact? Can Captain Kemmering keep the pressure cooker of the Saturn-orbiting spaceship from exploding? Can the crew of the Minerva, and the human race who are watching from Earth, trust these unearthly intelligences? After the Revelation, a brilliant novel by one of science fiction's great veterans, takes us into the real-time suspense of the characters facing these questions.
