«Eon» is the science fiction novel by Greg Bear, published by Orbit in paperback (512 pages, in English).
In the midst of a nuclear threat, a 300-kilometre asteroid appears in Earth's orbit. NASA, NATO and the UN explore its interior and find in Thistledown the remains of a vanished human civilisation and museums that narrate a catastrophic war and a long winter. The stone hides a secret that goes beyond Earth's survival.
It was originally published by Victor Gollancz in 1985 and nominated for the Arthur C. Clarke Award in 1987.
Aimed at the general public and fans of science fiction and space opera.
Gregory Dale Bear was an American science fiction writer. His work covered themes of conflict, consciousness, and accelerated evolution. The Forge of God and Anvil of Stars established his reputation. As time went on these works were rolled into lengthier trilogies and series. Along with Forge, popular series have included parallel universes in The Way and evolutionary themes in Darwin's Children.
