Only the author, a rakish sci-fi writer, knows whether his popular novel is truthful or a hoax. In a story that is cosmic, inventive, and sly, multi-award-winning author Lavie Tidhar (Central Station) travels from the emergence of life to the very ends of the universe.
Delia Welegtabit discovered two things during her childhood on a South Pacific island: her love for mathematics and a novel that isn’t supposed to exist. But the elusive book proves unexpectedly dangerous. Oskar Lens, a science fiction–obsessed mobster in the midst of an existential crisis, will stop at nothing to find the novel. After Delia’s husband, Levi, goes missing, she seeks help from Daniel Chase, a young, face-blind book dealer.
The infamous novel Lode Stars was written by the infamous Eugene Charles Hartley: legendary pulp science-fiction writer and founder of the Church of the All-Seeing Eyes. In Hartley’s novel, a doppelganger of Delia searches for her missing father in a strange star system. But is any of Lode Stars real? Was Hartley a cynical conman on a quest for wealth and immortality, creating a religion he did not believe in? Or was he a visionary who truly discovered the secrets of the universe?

Reviews
“Tidhar wins it all with this magnificently original mind-bender of a novel.”
“Ingeniously constructed and stylistically protean, this seven-course banquet of a novel glistens with the Golden Age of science fiction, even as it nourishes our neurons with a marvelous thought experiment.”
“Tidhar’s rich portrayal of the pulpy golden age of science fiction, distinctive characters, and nimble turns of phrase make for a cool confection.”
“Can we all just admit now that Lavie Tidhar’s a genius?”
“[A] melancholy, beautiful, and yet improbably light-touch narrative.”
“Inventive, thought-provoking, audacious and, as ever with Tidhar, superbly readable, this is where his genius lies.”
“An ambitious and ambiguous book showing Tidhar at top form.”
“Lyrically entangles scientific fact, mysticism, and mental illness. This is a knockout.”
“A compelling story of obsession and greed that will make readers think about the nature of reality.”
“Expertly delivered by a trinity of talent…This collaborative effort results in a well-orchestrated listening experience.”
