obsession with Moon and his concern for his family interfere with the

performance of his duties, he is granted leave and he sets out for

World's End. His quest: to rescue his brothers from the wilderness and

restore the family's lost honor and lost wealth. But something else is

calling him. A sibyl has told him about the ruined city ofSanctuary , on

the edge ofFireLake . A mysterious force is at work there, a force that

disrupts the fabric of space and time, a force that may yield up the

secrets of Old Empire technology. But before BZ can unlock the puzzle,

he must face the evil deep inside himself-- and in breathtaking passages

of sheer storytelling power, Vinge makes WORLD'S END an extraordinary

novel of one man's search for himself--his soul --his love--and his

destiny.
