In Arc of the Dream, the third installment of A.A. Attanasio’s visionary Radix Tetrad, an omnipotent, multidimensional being known as “the Arc” finds itself trapped within a too-small continuum and must enlist four ordinary humans from across the globe to help it escape—and, in doing so, spare Earth from annihilation. Through kaleidoscopic scenes and sweeping cosmic ambition, Attanasio weaves an epic quest that probes metaphysics, human potential, and hope amidst looming destruction. For readers enthralled by cosmic sagas that balance emotion, intellect, and grandeur, Arc of the Dream offers an evocative journey that doesn’t sacrifice heart for scale.

Editorial Reviews

 —Roger Zelazny

“Arc of the Dream melds physics and metaphysics, adventure and speculation, intellectual entertainment and deeply felt emotion...A step forward for a major writer.”  —Norman Spinrad
