"Frederick Pohl succeeds where others wouldn't even dare..."
The Denver Post
Wan-To was the oldest and must powerful intelligence in the universe, a being who played with star systems as a child plays with marbles. Matter occupied so tiny a part of his vast awareness that humans were utterly beneath his notice.
The colonists of Newmanhome first suffered the effects of Wan-To's games when their planet's stars began to shift, the climate began to cool down, and the colony was forced into a desperate struggle to survive.
Viktor Sorricaine was determined to discover what force had suddenly sent his world hurtling toward the ends of the universe. And the answer was something beyond the scope of his imagination — even if he lived for 4000 years...

The world at the end of time
It is obvious that Frederik Pohl loved math and science, and often wrote stories laced with detailed facts of specific subject matter in those fields. "The World at the End of Time" is especially recommended for those who are interested in the life and death of stars and the mechanics of the universe. There are two parallel stories here. One is of Wan-To, an intelligent plasma-being that lives inside stars. The other is centred around Viktor Sorricaine who lives throughout an extremely long time span due to several occasions of being held in cryogenic suspension.
The novel is large in scope though is an easy read, as it is written with clear and simple language; the human interactions, though set in the future and eventually the far future, seem natural and believable - we humans really don't change that much over time - very reminiscent of Asimov's style of writing fiction.
An enjoyable ride through time and space.
