Synopsis

For many billions of years, humans—having conquered the curse of aging—spread throughout the entire Milky Way. They are able to live all their dreams, but to their great disappointment, no other intelligent species has ever been encountered. Now, humanity itself is on the brink of extinction because the universe is dying a protracted yet inevitable death. They have only one hope: The 'Rescue Project' was designed to feed the black hole in the center of the galaxy until it becomes a quasar, delivering much-needed energy to humankind during its last breaths. But then something happens that no one ever expected—and humanity is forced to look at itself and its existence in an entirely new way.

I'll start with the good stuff. I like that author tried his best to keep to astrophysics without any distortion as the knowledge was during the time of book writing. It is also neat that he named the love interest of the main character by not well known Chinese scientists. It was also nice to have......more

EDIT - offenbar hat goodreads hier Teil Eins und Zwei verknüpft. Ok, insgesamt vergebe ich natürlich die Bestnote.
