- Summary:
-
"Michael Flynn returns with a major SF novel based on a Hugo-nominee novella. Over the centuries, one small town in Germany has disappeared and never been resettled. Tom, a contemporary historian, and his theoretical physicist girlfriend, Sharon, become interested. Tom indeed becomes obsessed. By all logic, the town should have survived. What's so special about Eifelheim?" "In the year 1348, Father Dietrich is the village priest of Oberhochwald, later known as Eifelheim, when the Black Death is gathering strength but is still not nearby. Dietrich is an educated man, knows science and philosophy, and to his astonishment becomes the first contact person between humanity and an alien race from a distant star when their interstellar ship crashes in the nearby forest." "It is a time of wonders in the shadow of the plague. Flynn gives us the full richness and strangeness of medieval life, as well as some terrific aliens."--BOOK JACKET.
