_Eon_ by Greg Bear

I haven’t had as much time to read as I did early on in the holiday, but I still have been spending time each day with a book. When I was getting low on things to read, I put out a call on Facebook and got some recommendations of different novels. One of them was this one.

_Eon_ is a 1991 science-fiction novel that is rather complex to follow and a little bit hard to imagine to some degree. There are a number of what you might call main characters, but the story mostly centers around Patricia Vasquez. She is considered the mind behind the future technology of an asteroid-like spaceship that some people from our time get stuck on it when the Earth is destroyed by nuclear war amongst all the big nations.

I’d like to explain it in more and better detail, but I really can’t. It’s quite a long novel and while I enjoyed it, I’m not sure I could retell the story…. There are two or three more books in the series and I haven’t yet decided if I want to try reading them, but will wait to decide later. For now, I’m on to some other reads….

More to come…
