Glorious

Book • 2020
In 'Glorious,' Larry Niven and Gregory Benford continue their hard science fiction series, 'Bowl of Heaven.

' The story follows a human colony ship, the SunSeeker, as it approaches the Glory star system, where they encounter a highly advanced and intelligent alien civilization.

The aliens inhabit a massive artificial structure known as the Cobweb, which links two worlds, Glory and Honor, and features diverse low-gravity ecologies.

The novel explores themes of first contact, intergalactic communication via gravity waves, and the complexities of alien societies.

The authors blend old-style science fiction with cutting-edge speculative thought, creating a grandiose and scientifically plausible narrative.
