Description

More than at any time in his history, man now has the means available to him to look back deep into his own origins-as far as the explosions that created our universe, the evolution of the first living cells, the emergence of human civilization from the long stone ages and at the very same time, to peer out to the very edges of space where lies-our future? Andrew Tomas is a man who has dared to do what few scholars dare-to try to escape the earthbound view of our selves that has confined us for our re corded past and, by assimilating into his own understanding the work of specialists in biology, archaeology, geology, history, and astronomy, to make a new assessment of man's destiny in time and space, set in an infinite past and boundless future, on the shores of endless worlds.

He examines the mysteries of the "infinitesimal computer" which tells even inanimate crystals the shape they must assume, and finds a continuity between the organic and the inorganic, the organic and the "intelligent," the human and the "superman" whose possibilities are as yet beyond our ken. He looks to the future, where "starman" will travel at speeds of the order of the speed of light, and examines the evidence that such superbeings already somewhere exist and have existed.

Are the legends of Isis and Osiris, and the myth of the labyrinth, actually cryptograms indicating the location of a time capsule, left by interstellar visitors in ages past? Is the "ring of space rubble" around Jupiter and Mars the remnants of a lost planet?

Andrew Tomas has a really remarkable gift for blending knowledge and speculation, and liberating the imagination of the reader with his own. ON THE SHORES OF ENDLESS WORLDS is no less entrancing than his world best-seller We Are Not the First.
