mass market paperback, 336 pages
Published Aug. 3, 1998 by Voyager.
Imagine a race of submicroscopic humans, genetically engineered to live in the universe's most hostile environment, the turbulent superfluid mantle of a neutron star
Imagine that the memory of the superbeings who created them has been kept alive from generation to generation.
Now imagine the most incredible family reunion in history--and you're ready for the latest mind-expanding adventure
Star humans were engineered to exist within the mantle of a star, mere tools of their Earth-evolved makers in a war against the Xeelee, owners of the universe. Stephen Baxter's third novel in his magnificent Xeelee Sequence is an exotic and endearing story of an abandoned people.

Stejne jako predchozi casti davam 75%, tentokrat o poznani delsi metraz s pro me trosku chaotickym zacatkem, po 20 - 30 strankach si to sedlo a postupne z komorniho pribehu pomerne velkej spektatl.
Opet jinej pohled, jiny kulisy, stejnej vesmir :) (a trosku naivni ke konci)
An enjoyable and imaginative story. Not just space opera, but with a proper plot, reasonably 3D characters, and speculative physics. I am a bit dubious about his description of Upfluxers as 'dependent, like children ', there is more than a hint of colonial attitudes there, but that aspect is rather mild and doesn't distract from the book as a whole.
