Howard Falcon har förvandlats till något mer än människa, något som öppnar nya möjligheter.
En olycka kostade nästan Howard livet, men rehabiliteringen gjorde honom till en ovanligt stark och smart cyborg, och öppnade för ett erbjudande om att leda en expedition ner i Jupiters atmosfär. Där kan han bli den första jordbon som tar kontakt med sant främmande livsformer.
Romanen baseras på Arthur C Clarkes novell A Meeting with Medusa, där Howard dök upp för första gången och reste till Jupiter. Så här säger Baxter om arbetet med romanen: "A Meeting with Medusa was arguably Clarke's last great work of short fiction, and, we discovered, inspired us both when we were younger. Today the science of the story still holds up, and its encapsulation of a great theme-humanity vs. the machine-in the dilemma of a single individual remains very effective, and full of story potential. For me, working with Al on this project has been like working with Clarke himself, one more time."
Och Reynolds tillägger: "A Meeting with Medusa has always been a touchstone text for me, one of the very first SF stories that I ever read, and with a resonance that has haunted me across the ensuing forty years. I could not have hoped for a better partner in this collaboration than Steve, and I hope our joint effort reflects our deep admiration and respect for the boundless imagination and essential good-natured optimism of Arthur C. Clarke."
