Between the Strokes of Night by Charles Sheffield

Description: TO DEFEAT THE IMMORTALS,
YOU MUST BECOME AN IMMORTAL
After the Nuclear Spasm in the 21st century, homo sapiens was extinct, save for a tiny remnant scattered in small, primitive space colonies. At first Solar Humanity had only one goal: survival. But when the battle for existence was won, humankind began moving outward in slow, multi-generation space ships, and as the millennia passed, planet-based civilizations emerged in many star systems.

In the year 27,698 A.D., to these new worlds come the Immortals, beings with strange ties to ancient Earth, beings who seem to live forever, who can travel light years in days—and who use their strange powers to control the existence of ordinary mortals.

On the planet Pentecost, a small group sets out to find and challenge the Immortals. But in the search they themselves are changed: as Immortals, they discover a new threat, not just to themselves, but to the galaxy itself.

Also in this series are Borderlands of Science, Convergent Series, My Brother's Keeper, Proteus in the Underworld, Resurgence, The Amazing Dr. Darwin, The Compleat McAndrew, The Spheres of Heaven, The Web Between the Worlds, Transvergence Return to the Charles Sheffield page.
