Mars has been silent for thirty years, since the last time Earth solved one of the mathematical proofs the Martian civilization carved onto its surface. The latest proof, which seems to assert contradictory truths about distance, has resisted human understanding for decades. Crystal thinks she’s solved it, and Rick is intent on putting her answer to the test—if he can keep her from cracking under the pressure on the way. But Crystal’s disappearance after the experiment will set him on a different path than he expected, forever changing the distance between them.\u003cbr\u003eFilled with mystery and wonder, Ethan Chatagnier’s \u003ci\u003eSinger Distance\u003c\/i\u003e is a novel about ambition, loneliness, exploration, and love—about how far we’re willing to go to communicate with a distant civilization, and the great lengths we’ll travel to connect with each other here on Earth.","brand":"Tin House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47657953984767,"sku":"9781959030164","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781959030164_s600x595.jpg?v=1775603874","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781959030164","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
