Synopsis

Humanity's future has been disrupted and shaped by the mysterious alien Jackaroo. We spread to the planets they gave us, and we discovered the ruins of a dozen previous civilistions. All previous clients of the Jackaroo, all dead. So far we have escaped that fate - but we have also escaped from the Jackaroo's planets and begun to explore the galaxy. The discovery of ancient spaceships, and the unlocking of their mysteries, has led to a new way of life. But humanity's failings and conflicts are always with us.

A woman living a quiet secluded life, with only her dog and her demons for company. The dissolute heir to a powerful merchant family. The laminated brain of the woman who led us into the universe. A policeman, seemingly working for the Jackaroo. All of these people are on the edges of a vast plan, one which will span decades and light years. A piece of alien code has awakened, and the end of our species may be happening around us.

And we may finally discover if the aliens really are here to help us.

Goodreads review by Bradley on April 18, 2020

This is an extremely fascinating SF novel that does more for fans of SF in general than 200 of its ilk. What do I mean? It not only has a very cool Tomb Raider type story with a ton of alien ghosts (or ghosts in the machine) weird AI or virus type aliens, and 15 gifted worlds for humans to do as they......more

Goodreads review by Tudor on May 04, 2016

Most of the alien contact novels are about human beings looking into a mirror and about how we deal with something different. Into Everywhere is about humans looking into the abyss, into something that is totally alien and truly unknowable. And painting the unknowable is not a easy feat to pull of.......more

Goodreads review by Panagiotis on May 16, 2016

Wow! I expected this book (sequel to Something's coming through) to be a good book but McAuley has greatly surpassed my expectations. This is the work of a writer who is at the high point of his carreer and right now he is the best science fiction writer in the UK and not only. Usually the first cont......more

Goodreads review by Jamie on December 05, 2016

Into Everywhere (Paperback) by Paul McAuley Follows Something Coming Through, but from a more distant timescale. You can, however, easily read this as a stand alone book. The action is fast paced, and the characters are driven. Sometimes they are driven by their own ambitions and sense of purpose, so......more

Goodreads review by Peter on December 29, 2016

The book follows much the same structure as its predecessor, ‘Something Coming Through’, covering two different time periods/protagonists in alternating chapters until both viewpoints unsurprisingly come together towards the end of the book. This sequel does the job that sorely needed to be done, whi......more
