He wrote numerous series including the Heritage Universe series, Jupiter series, Cold as Ice series, and Proteus series. He died of cancer on November 2, Charles Sheffield. Humans reached the stars and found the Artifacts--enigmatic structures, seemingly defying natural laws, left by an ancient vanished race.
Incomprehensible to both human and non-human minds, the Artifacts seemingly defy natural law. Now, after millions of years, a new Artifact has appeared--and previously discovered Artifacts are showing strange changes in their inexplicable activities. When a motley crew of human and alien scientists and adventurers set out to examine still more Artifacts, they should have considered that some changes are more dangerous than others. The story opens with news that the Artifacts, centerpiece of this series, seem to be changing and, in some cases, disappearing. To further complicate matters, Artifact expert Darya Lang finds her academic turf threatened with the sudden appearance of newcomer Quintus Bloom who tells her he has discovered a new Artifact and also has a theory about the Builders and the purpose of their Artifacts.
He thinks they were built by future humans to foster our development. In a huff, Darya Lang sets out to explore Labyrinth and prove Bloom wrong. Hans Rebka, after a lover's quarrel with Lang, has no idea where she went and undertakes the exploration of another newly altered Artifact. Apr 07, John Loyd rated it it was amazing. Convergence pages by Charles Sheffield. The fourth book in The Heritage Universe. Darya comes back to the Artifact Research Institute to find Quintis Bloom giving a lecture on how he has figured everything out.
Bloom studied Labyrinth, a new artifact and came up with the theory that the builders are humans from Convergence pages by Charles Sheffield. Bloom studied Labyrinth, a new artifact and came up with the theory that the builders are humans from the future who created the artifacts to guide history along.
After hearing Bloom's lecture, Darya takes off on her own, meaning with Kallik and J'merlia, to study Labyrinth for herself, and to stop by Jerome's World to check on Bloom's past.
Meanwhile Hans takes off for Paradox with the embodied computer, E. Sheffield keeps three story lines going, without any loss of reader interest, and gets everything to come together at the end without too much of a stretch. He laid the groundwork early in the book, and series for that ending. I enjoyed the book, it kept my interest the whole way, I like the characters, and they story was very good. Jul 30, Alex rated it liked it. My wife got this book for me from a random free book pile, so I went in without having read the previous three in the series.
That said, I didn't find it impenetrable, though there were references and names that I assumed to be callbacks to previous books. As a stand-alone space epic that clocks in at just under pages, this is an enjoyable ride. The characters have their own personalities, though they are largely defined by their jobs or one particular trait, and the story is somewhat My wife got this book for me from a random free book pile, so I went in without having read the previous three in the series.
The characters have their own personalities, though they are largely defined by their jobs or one particular trait, and the story is somewhat interesting, as the universe seems to be swallowing ancient artifacts that were left behind by a group of highly intelligent beings known as The Builders. And there's some sex. The ending is a tease, and I'm assuming the next book provides the big reveal that this book stops just short of.

Even with that hiccup, this is a jaunty trip across the universe. Jul 01, Joe rated it really liked it. Faster paced than some of the other entries in the series, Convergence seems to wrap up a lot of questions and mysteries around the Builders. But since there is a fifth and final book in the series, it will be interesting to see where Sheffield takes his group of travelers from this point. I gave Summertide book 1 three stars but Divergence book 2 four.

The same thing happened with the next two books, Transcendence book 3 , three stars and Convergence book 4 , four stars. If the pattern Faster paced than some of the other entries in the series, Convergence seems to wrap up a lot of questions and mysteries around the Builders. If the pattern continues, it seems perhaps that the fifth and final book, Resurgence, will be merely mediocre.
I suppose that I will just have to read it and find out. Dec 11, Chip rated it really liked it.

I must admit this is the first book in the Heritage Universe series I've read. I was definitely good if you like space-opera but it was overly complicated for a book under pages. Sheffield definitely has created a universe with many creative aliens. The technology is cool yet the depth of the characters is not quite what I would have liked. The story falls into place a bit to easily and the ending is somewhat of a let down. I'm sure I'll be reading the other 3 or 4 in the series at some I must admit this is the first book in the Heritage Universe series I've read.
I'm sure I'll be reading the other 3 or 4 in the series at some time. Aug 23, Wes rated it did not like it Shelves: scifi. Are you kidding me? This series taught me several things.
