August's Sci-Fi Book: Eon by Greg Bear
Koelbel Library, 5955 S Holly St, Centennial, CO, USJoin us for August's sci-fi book club meetup to discuss 'Eon' by Greg Bear.
Our meetings start loosely, hanging out with new and old friends while everyone arrives. After most people arrive, there are introductions and the main group discussion about the book. As that runs out of steam, everyone drifts into whatever groups and topics make them happy.
We are meeting at Koelbel Library. We have 'Meeting Room C' reserved, which is found at the back of the library's cafe. It has sofas, easy chairs, and a variety of tables with stools. This one is on Saturday, so the library cafe will be open for the first hour. "Light snacks and covered drinks" are also allowed in the space but alcohol is not. I usually bring one variety of small snacks and friends often bring more.
The library closes at 5 PM. There is a nice patio area to linger outside when the weather is nice. If there are a few people who would like to carry on after the library closes, there are many restaurants we can shift to.

August's book description:
'Eon' by Greg Bear (1985) - 480 pagesThe 21st century was on the brink of nuclear confrontation when the 300 kilometer-long stone flashed out of nothingness and into Earth's orbit. NASA, NATO, and the UN sent explorers to the asteroid's surface...and discovered marvels and mysteries to drive researchers mad.
For the Stone was from space--but perhaps not our space; it came from the future-but perhaps not our future; and within the hollowed asteroid was Thistledown. The remains of a vanished civilization. A human--English, Russian, and Chinese-speaking--civilization. Seven vast chambers containing forests, lakes, rivers, hanging cities...
And museums describing the Death; the catastrophic war that was about to occur; the horror and the long winter that would follow. But while scientists and politicians bickered about how to use the information to stop the Death, the Stone yielded a secret that made even Earth's survival pale into insignificance.

September's book description:
A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller, Jr. (1959) - 368 pagesIn the depths of the Utah desert, long after the Flame Deluge has scoured the earth clean, a monk of the Order of Saint Leibowitz has made a miraculous discovery: holy relics from the life of the great saint himself, including the blessed blueprint, the sacred shopping list, and the hallowed shrine of the Fallout Shelter. These artifacts could be the keys to mankind's salvation. But as the mystery unfolds, it is the search itself—for meaning, for truth, for love—that offers hope for humanity's rebirth from the ashes.
