Overview

Rescued from post-apocalyptic parallel universes, the Pathfinders have one thing in common: they're all the last man or woman on Earth, but different Earths.

They explore dead universes for data, weapons, and technology using "transfer gates" abandoned by a long-vanished civilization. It's risky work, but better than waiting to die, alone, on a blasted ruin.

Climate collapse, nuclear winter, world-ending plagues—all in a day's work.

But something odd is going on: people are seeing things that aren't, or shouldn't, be there. Toxic rain is literally driving people crazy. And someone's been taking secret unauthorized trips to an off-limits parallel.

It means they're in danger—and ahead of them lie worlds rendered lifeless by rogue singularities or littered with ancient and perilous ruins.

There are a thousand ways a world can die—but the threat of their own extinction is never far away.

"One of the top SF writers active today . . . In the right hands, SF can be wonderful, inventive and hugely enjoyable - and Gary Gibson is just that sort of author." WalkerofWorlds.com

"To be considered alongside the leading triumvirate of British hard SF writers: Alastair Reynolds, Peter Hamilton, and Neal Asher." The Guardian

"A fast-paced post-apocalyptic thriller that builds to an exciting conclusion," SciFiBulletin.com on Book 1, Extinction Game

"Believable characters, interesting situations, stunning settings, and, above all else, a compulsively readable story makes this a must-read for sci-fi fans. Highly recommended." SFFWorld.com on Book 1, Extinction Game

"Gibson's take on two thoroughly familiar tropes (Cold War + apocalypse) is actually quite refreshing . . . The prose is also satisfyingly good." FantasyLiterature.com on Book 2, Survival Game

"Gibson turns the genre on its head . . . He excels at depicting real-feeling destruction and the tenacity and weaknesses of survivors, along with the moral wrestling of survivor guilt. This potent, teeth-gritting SF thriller shows death and love only a shadow away from our ordinary lives." Publishers Weekly starred review of Book 1, Extinction Game

"Gibson has certainly proved himself a name to watch." SFX on Extinction Game
