The final book in the Solaris Saga. Every legend has an end. Wounded and dependent upon Klanor for help, and pursued by the FBI and Stein, Rynah treks across the New Mexican desert in search of Solaris and the others. Knowing that they are following a lead from the ancient poem, she and Klanor make their way to Albuquerque to rendezvous with them. But Stein isn’t Rynah’s only worry; the president of the United States has issued an order to kill her on sight. Exhausted by Stein’s constant pursuit of her and the FBI’s complicit aid to him, Rynah and her crew resolve to take the fight to him and end his annihilation of Earth. While devising their plan, she discovers a secret Marlow kept from Solaris—her world and ours have been connected for thousands of years.

Despite being one of Andrei Tarkovsky's most successful films, Solaris (1972) was the one he most disliked. This dismissal of his most generically marked film has often been accepted by those quick to embrace the image of Tarkovsky as a transcendent artist rising above the politics of the Soviet film industry and the trappings of genre to produce personal works of art. Going against such currents, Mark Bould instead treats Solaris as the product of a genre as well as the work of a skilled film-maker. He teases out Tarkovsky's fascination with Stanislaw Lem, on whose novel the film was based, and also considers Steven Soderbergh's 2002 adaptation. Lively and revealing, Bould's examination situates Solaris within the Russian and global cultures of the fantastic, to which Tarkovsky contributed three major science fiction films. This special edition features original cover artwork by Matthew Shlian.
