'Bowl of Heaven' begins sci-fi epic

"Bowl of Heaven" (Tor Books), by Gregory Benford and Larry Niven

About 100 pages into "Bowl of Heaven," I realized it isn't a stand-alone book. There's no mention of more volumes on the book jacket, but the world imagined here is too vast, the questions too many for 416 pages.

Once you come to terms with reading "to be continued" on the last page, it's easy to settle in and enjoy the sci-fi smorgasbord served up by Gregory Benford and Larry Niven.
