Aliens have invaded Earth, and humanity has dispersed among the planets and moons of the Solar System. Humans are receiving mysterious transmissions from space in the general direction of Ophiuchi, a star 16 light years from Earth. And cloning of humans is now routine, but only one copy can legally exist at a time. Varley mixes these elements in a first novel that is #84 on Pringle's 100 best SF novels. This is a used book. Pages are clean and bright with no markings, notes, or highlighting. No owner's marks or bookplates. Ex-library but appears unread. Binding is tight and square. An excellent reading copy.

THE BRILLIANT NOVEL THAT LAUNCHED THE VARLEY PHENOMENON
The invaders came in 2050â ¦They did not kill anyone outright. hey said they came on behalf of the intelligent species of Earthâ dolphins and whales. The Invaders quietly destroyed every evidence of technology, then peacefully departed, leaving behind plowed ground and sprouting seeds. In the next two years, ten billion humans starved to death.Â
The remnants of humanity that survived relocated to the moon and other planets. But they are not alone in their struggleâ someone or something, somewhere in deep space, is sending them advanced scientific data via the Ophiuchi Hotline. And by the twenty-fifth century, the technological gifts from the Hotlineâ especially its biological and medical solutionsâ have created a world unlike any ever known or imaginedâ ¦
