Book Review of Across a Billion Years

Across a Billion Years
reviewed Indiana Jones Meets Star Trek on + 2 more book reviews


If you could picture an story that combines the archaeology of Indiana Jones and the wayfaring adventures of Star Trek, this gem from Rovert Silverberg would be it. The characters in the book excavate and extrapolate information for archaeological sites on far away worlds, in an attempt to discover the oldest civilizations in the universe.

When an excavation leads them to discoveries that predate those of the known galaxy, they also discover truths about the beginning and the end of time!

A quick read, and a fascinating combination of the past and the future!
