"A towering success ... [Benford] manages the ex-
tremely difficilt feat of conveying not only the
meaning of his speCUaltions in physics and cos-
mology, but the excitement as well Benford
gives
us a cast of well-developed strong characters
.... [Timescape] puts Benford among the field's very
best. It is not only splendid science fiction, it is
a thoroughly splendid novel."
--The
Washington Post Book World
"Timescape
is the best novel I've read in years, and
...
it is extraordinarily ambitious."
---
e San Diego
Union
"A brilliant performance ... I believed
totally while I was
reading."
--Anthony
Burgess
"Benford ... invokes his experience as
a physicist at California-Irvine to produce a persuasive
account of the subatomic physics and the
academic dispute that ensues. The result is a splendid
novel of time
paradox."
--Chicago Tribune Book
World
"Gives the phrase 'science fiction' new
meaning."
--Kirkus
Reviews
"A pasionate and very human novel ... very
likely the best science fiction novel about science
yet."
--Norman
Spinrad

"A brilliant evocation of science and scientists at
work ... If I had to pick the best SF novel of the
year right now, this would be it."
--Locus
"A rare event! ... His characters live... a very entertaining
work of fiction."
--Walter M. Miller, Jr.
"Benford, a physicist himself, has produced a brilliant
novel--contemporary SF at its best, demonstrating
equal strength in its meticulously worked
out scientific premise and its strong characterization,
with the bonus of a rare authentic picture of
scientists at work. This is a gripping and intellectually
exciting book, a genuine achievement."
--Publishers Weekly
"Moving ... powerful ... poignant ... The best
novel I've read lscience."
--Suzy McKee Charnas
"A thoroughly engrossing novel about interesting
and real-seeming people ... There is really no
precedent for Timescape in science fiction."
--Science Fiction Review
PRAISE FOR GREORY BENFORD
"Mr. Benford is a rarity: a scientist who writes
with verve and insight not only about black holes
and cosmic strings but about human desires and
fears."
rathe New York Times Book Review

"Benford is one of the top writers in the genre."
---Chicago Tribune
"Benford's writing flows like electrons along copper
wire, and his concepts and images are dear
and insightful."
--The Tampa Tribune-Times
"What's most notable about Benford ... is that behind
the brilliant speculative frameworks that he
constructs, behind all his ability to send theimagination
soaring, behind the gripping adventure
stories that he tells, his chief interest is the nature
of humanity."
--St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"Gregory Benford is a distinguished physicist, astronomer
and professor, but first and foremost he
is a superb storyteller. His work, always impeccably
grounded in scientific fact, falls within the
'hard science' subgenre of SF, but his soaring
imagination and deft feel for plot and characterization
make his writing eminently user-friendly to
readers of all literary persuasions."
--The Houston Post
"Science fiction author Gregory Benford writes
some of the very best of the so-called 'hard' stuff."
--Los Angeles Times Book Review

SPECIAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I wish to acknowledge warmly the contribution
made by my sister-in-law, Hilary Foister Benford, to
this book. She contributed significantly to the manuscript,
bringing to it her special qualities of interest in
people. Certain characters are in part her creation. As
a native of England and a graduate of Cambridge
University, she gave invaluable help in developing
and maintaining a consistent British idiom. WithOut
her contribution this would be a quite different book.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
For technical discussions I am indebted to Doctors
Riley Newman, David Book and Sidney Coleman.
Many facets of this work were improved by my
wife, Joan Abbe. Her patience and support, as well as
that of my children, Alyson and Mark, were invaluable.
For editing and work on khe final draft I thank As-enath
Hammond. I am indebted to David and Marilee
Samuelson, Charles Brown, Malcolm Edwards, Richard
Curlils, Lawrence Lienber§ and especially David
Hartwell for comments on the manuscript.
Many scientific elements in this novel are txue.
Others are speculative, and thus may well prove
false. My aim has been to illuminate some outstanding
philosophical difficulties in physics. If the reader
emerges with the conviction that time represents a
fundamental riddle in modern physics, this book will
have served its purpose.
