In Ansible, 25th-century Islamic explorers transfer their minds across space and time to make first contact...and get marooned in alien bodies on alien worlds.

The pneumavores ("soul eaters") have taken the Earth and have spread to every planet humanity has ever touched. Now, a Syrian refugee, a 13th-century librarian, and a hijabi shapeshifter from the far future must travel across space and time to defend humanity from this intergalactic and devouring evil.

Rasha is a Syrian refugee fleeing war with her infant son. Sahira is a time-traveling, shapeshifting hijabi defender of humanity. In a distant future when all humanity flees a predatory and unexpected horror, Rasha's choices at a critical moment could make the difference between extinction and refuge - if Sahira can get her safely to that day. This riveting addition to the Ansible saga takes you from the dust and despair of bombed-out cities and poisoned land to the weird apparitions that can transform a planet's future.

The previous Ansibles found themselves marooned, but Zahid, last survivor of Ansible 15718, commands an interstellar fleet, and Sahira, the psionic savant we meet in Ansible: Night Land and Ansible: Strike Force, will take the battle to the pneumavores, humanity's fiercest predators.

Each of the Ansible stories follows one team of brave minds across the void. These are their reports, their transcripts, the only accounts of what they have found.

On a far future space station, once each year, nano-engineered young women run genetically engineered tyrannosaurs in a race as brutal and bloody as any witnessed in the Roman Circus 3,000 years before. Egret thinks she is ready for this day. She has been brainwashed for it, trained for it, shaped and reshaped into a sacrificial model of beauty for the entertainment of millions.

Tonight, on the red sands of the arena and inside the hollow asteroid where the dinosaurs are grown, the secrets these gladiators discover will shake their entire world.
