Entropy

by Andrew Galvan

A seemingly normal human male has awakened in the degenerate era of the universe after being abandoned in prolonged stasis. During this time period, space has expanded so much that the natural processes that are responsible for creating new stars can no longer function. Thus, it is a cold and extremely dark universe with very little energy left; only dust and a few dying stars remain. He is taken on one of the last remaining space vessels where he meets the ship's sentient A.I. and a single humanoid crewmate. Together they catalog and explore the remaining remnants floating in the void while at the same time dodging immortal cabals of ruthless alien raiders known only as 'Pariahs' that have had all sense of dignity and empathy erased and replaced with an obsession for surviving by any means possible. Unintentionally they find themselves on the verge of unlocking the most powerful secret of existence itself that could mean their salvation or terrible ruin if the Pariahan armada were to discover it first.

I read the book "Entropy" by Andrew Galvan years ago and it automatically turned into my favorite Sci-fi read ever. The plot line has depth and ingenuity; i'm surprised more people haven't read it. I turned one friend onto the book who loved it as much as myself, and there really is a deep philosophical underlying question in the book that i like to sum up as... is it all worth it? Well, if anything this book makes it worth it. After years of having this story in my head I decided to reread but had SUCH a hard time of tracking it down! I've finally found it, and i'll be giving Andrew Galvans other books a look at as well.

Turned me into a sci-fi fan. One of the few books I read during my younger years that elicited an emotional response. It has been my internet/kindle/book white whale for years and I'm so happy to have found it again.
