Two months ago, innumerable alien objects surrounded Earth, screaming as they burned their way into our atmosphere. The heavens have been silent since. Now, though, a derelict space probe has heard whispers from a distant comet. Something talks out there – but not to us. Who should be sent to find out? Send a linguist with multiple-personality disorder, and a cyborg biologist who can’t feel his own flesh. Send a pacifist warrior, and a vampire resurrected by the voodoo of paleogenetics. Send a man missing half his mind since childhood. And pray they can be trusted with the fate of a world. Because they may be more alien than the thing they’ve been sent to find. A finalist for the Hugo Award on its first publication, Blindsight’s reputation has only increased in the ensuing years. It is one of the great modern examinations of just how alien truly alien life might actually be. “One of the best sci-fi books I’ve ever read...not so much about a meeting of races as it is about a meeting of different modes of mind.” –The Province (Vancouver) This new Tor Essentials edition of Blindsight includes an introduction by the Hugo Award-winning Elizabeth Bear, author of Ancestral Night.
