This book took me to a wonderful realm of imagination--the starships remind me of stories of clipper ships, and the mix of fantastic with political intrigue, rescue, mystery, even some romance made a great story. It moves at breathtaking pace, but with gorgeous descriptions and a sense of wonder. I was really sad when I finished reading--I want more!

This book is a super great awsome inexpensive waste of time that I couldn't stop reading.

Good book, solid, entertaining and it fires the imagination. but don't pick it up unless you have a weekend to spend reading it cause you won't be able to put it down

A good read; interesting characters and plot. The plot, if a little contrived, is kept moving and I had a hard time putting the book down.

Blown away by the free offering and plan to start reading the star rigger series right away.

I must admit I was a little sceptical at the beginning about the whole 'Flying Dutchman .. in Space!"-thing. But it had a nice cover, the "magnus opus" stamp, and I wanted to try another one from the author, after having fun with the "Chaos Chronicles"-series. And true enouth, it started a little .. heavy, at least for my taste. Our hero is, for a time, in a really hopeless looking situation. And then it gets step by step worse. Still it builds engagement, I guess, because it gripped me and I couldn't really stop reading.I don't want to give too much spoilers, so let me just say the assumption that the author is usually (ultimately) nice to his characters saved me in the middle of the book, when the suspense would have killed me otherwise. Its a correct assumption, by the way. But that is all I am saying.Your mileage may vary, but I found a very _very_ skillful balance between giving subtle hints about the developments in advance and keeping me unsure what will happen next. In the end I was quite fascinated. I could summarise the plot in very few words, and it would sound very silly indeed. Instead let me say that I think it's a very skillful remix of stories and settings that could have easily gone wrong. And some will probably think that it did.Don't expect high literature, realistic drama, or serious, "hard" science fiction. If you want a crazy, silly ride with an ending, that I really, really should have seen coming (but didn't), then that book might just be for you :)

WOW! Eternity's End is an amazing roller coaster ride of hard sci fi, space opera, piracy, intrigue, danger, romance, alien culture, and more. I recommend reading earlier books in the Rigger Universe first, to get oriented to this universe, but it is a stand-alone novel. I have enjoyed every Jeffrey A Carver book that I have read, and highly recommend them. I was sad when the story ended. If you like sci fi, you will enjoy this book.

Carver has earned a position among the syfi
Masters with this book. This is how syfi is supposed to be. Would love to see the movie!
This was the first of his books I have read but
Now I am a fan forever.
