The Reefs of Time - The starstream is beautiful. But beauty turns deadly when an ancient AI bent on destruction uses it to travel uptime, to humanity’s future. Bandicut and his alien companions believed the Mindaru dead, after their intervention to save the Starmaker Nebula (in Sunborn, the previous novel). But now a part of this ancient and malevolent AI colony is swarming toward the present from the deep past, and the company must find a way to stop it. (Part 1)
Crucible of Time - The war that Li-Jared's homeworld of Karellia is waging with neighboring planet Uduon has created a temporal disturbance along which the Mindaru are swarming out of the deep past. The threat they pose is not just to Karellia and Uduon, but all of the galaxy. However, there is more to the Mindaru than meets the eye. Conclusion of the unmissable adventure begun in The Reefs of Time. (Part 2)

“Classic science fiction with engaging characters and richly imagined worlds!” —Greg Bear, author of The Unfinished Land and The War Dogs Trilogy
“Jeffrey A. Carver’s remarkable long-awaited duology The Reefs of Time / Crucible of Time is a welcome addition to The Chaos Chronicles, certifying his continuing mastery of action and adventure at the boundaries of space opera and hard SF.” —Steve Miller, co-author of The Liaden Universe
“Rich, dignified prose wedded to excellent and imaginative storytelling on the grandest scale.

Gannon, author of the Caine Riordan world
“Mind-blowing in its complexity... I settled in to enjoy a wild ride.” —Ann Tonsor Zeddies, author of Riders of Leviathan and Steel Helix
“Underpins its stunning science fiction and character-driven narrative with a strong theme of ‘coming home’...
