Synopsis

A ship full of worlds...For John Bandicut, Earth is but a memory. Having saved Earth from destruction, he is exiled to the edge of the galaxy—where he finds an unimaginably vast structure, peopled by refugees from countless doomed planets. Magellan-fish. Shadow-people. He faces a world of uncertainties.Bandicut and his two robots must find their own way. But they are not long alone; others share a similar fate. With newfound alien companions Ik and Li-Jared—and the beautiful humanoid woman, Antares—Bandicut becomes caught up in a struggle to save another world: Shipworld itself.The foe this time is not a rogue comet but a malicious AI dubbed the boojum. From the floor of a star-spanner factory, to the galactic melting-pot cities of Shipworld, to the frightening Tree of Ice, where control of Shipworld is centered, the boojum threatens to tear Shipworld apart. And it will likely succeed, if the new band of unlikely heroes can’t find a way to stop it.This second volume of The Chaos Chronicles continues the headlong tumble through the worlds of fascinating aliens and believable characters that are a hallmark of Nebula-nominated Jeffrey A. Carver, recipient of Helicon Awards' Frank Herbert Lifetime Achievement Award for science fiction writing. Narrated by the Grammy and Audie-winning Stefan Rudnicki.

Goodreads review by Angus on February 28, 2017

The first of this series did a cool thing by having alien contact take place in a nearly familiar setting of Triton. In this one, the setting is out of the Milky Way and aliens abound. Not only is the intergalactic hard to conceive, the interconnected synthetic system invented for the current episod......more

Goodreads review by Ryan on July 08, 2015

These books are a little obnoxious in the sense that their author's started goal was to write a shorter, less complex novel, but instead wrote four (maybe more?) shorter novels in serial fashion. As best I can tell, this is really a 1,000 page novel in disguise. To call them hard sci-fi is a stretch.......more

Goodreads review by Lee on February 16, 2015

I persevered on this set of novels that move from novel ideas to childish trivia. The personality of the hero also moves from frokin moke to other inane statements to self sacrifice. A band of now 4 save a continent on a starship from evil. I'll finish the series, just.......more

Goodreads review by Barry on August 15, 2019

4.51* :) If you enjoyed the first in the series, I'm confident you will also enjoy this one. And if you read the first one, you know you needed to at least start this 2nd book to get some kind of closure on the first. It is a very good 2nd book in a series. New characters, new setting, new challenges.......more
