Appartient à la sérieAndromedan Dark (1)
Galaxies collide in a thrilling new series from bestselling author Ian Douglas, as the last humans in the universe face off against a new threat 2162. Thirty-eight years after first contact, Lord Commander Grayson St. Clair leads the Tellus Ad Astra on an unprecedented expedition to the Galactic Core, carrying more than a million scientists, diplomats, soldiers, and AIs. Despite his reservations about their alien hosts, St. Clair is deeply committed to his people--especially after they're sucked into a black hole and spat out four billion years in the future. Civilizations have risen and fallen. The Andromeda Galaxy is drifting into the Milky Way. And Earth is most certainly a distant memory. All that matters now is survival. But as the ship's Marines search for allies amid ancient ruins and strange new planetary structures, St. Clair must wrap his mind around an enemy capable of harnessing a weapon of incomprehensible power: space itself.

Somehow, they get too close to a Black Hole as soon as they arrive in the core and are thrown forward 4 billion years in time. The Milky Way is in the midst of a collision with the Andromeda Galaxy, and the ship captain St. Claire is forced to try to figure out this new place while under attack.
This is the first book I've read by this author. It's heavy on astrophysics, and sounds plausible. There are examples of a number of habitats in the far future that have been theorized in our days. There are some interesting political situations brought about by the tension between the military and the civilian sides of the expedition, which contains over a million people in an enormous ship. There is also thought put into political structures and whether sentient robots should have rights.
I can't say I'm hooked- the characters aren't very interesting, and one plot problem bothers me: how could such a primitive culture as our very-recently space-faring one have any significant impact on a galaxies-wide civilizational struggle? Yet we seem to be setting that up. ( )
