In this brilliant new novel, one of the best and most popular of today's younger science-fiction authors takes an audacious leap into a stunning distant future. with a story of remarkable astrophysical implications.  A World Out of Time tells of Jaybee Corbell's one-man (but not one-presence) odyssey into the future, from his awakening in the twenty-second century -- and his conversion from frozen "corpsicle" to spaceship pilot for the State -- through a galactic tour that shunts him three million years ahead, to a homecoming on a puzzling transformed, relocated Earth.  In trying to discover what has happened in his 3,000 millennial absence, Corbell meets a solitary, once-beautiful, ever-vindictive Norn named Mirelly-Lyra; her cat-snake pets and other curious animal mutants; and a colony of almost-immortal "Boys," survivors of a legendary war with the almost-immortal "Girls," a war in which one side controlled the heavens and the other the Earth.  Conceived and written with wit, technical sophistication, and striking imagination, A World Out of Time is prime Niven for a large and growing audience of fans.
