The author comments

Karik Endine had devoted his life to uncovering the truth about the vanished people who filled the land on both sides of the Mississippi with concrete strips and towers so high no person could hope to climb one in a day.

Ten years ago he set out with a small band to find Haven, their storied last refuge. But he came back alone, his companions victims of the hunt, to declare that Haven was indeed mythical. He retired into seclusion and eventually walked into the river. But his death produced evidence that Haven does exist, and that the mission was not the failure he pretended.

But why would he have lied?

"Eternity Road is pure science fiction, a book that reads as easily as breathing."

—Charles Sheffield
