Product Details

Library copy by Gregory Benford and Larry Niven about a human starship crew that encounters a massive, ancient alien artifact—a bowl-shaped structure containing a star, with a habitable inner surface larger than all the planets in our solar system combined. The crew investigates the colossal, moving habitat to resupply, leading them to explore its strange ecosystems, uncover its purpose, and confront its alien inhabitants, all while the structure itself travels through space. It is the first book in the Bowl of Heaven series, followed by Shipstar.
