Empress of Eternity by L.E. Modesitt, Jr. Library Call Number: PS3563.O264 E47 2010.
This challenging read begins with an enigma:
from one end of the middle continent of Earth to the other, there is a canal
that runs 2,000 miles, with a lighthouse or watchtower at its Western end. Civilizations rise and fall, but the canal
remains, indestructible and indecipherable. Its creation apparently brought an end to one
society—now three groups of scientists, separated by thousands of years, are
studying it, all with their own planet-threatening situations. Each group begins to make discoveries, even as
the group farthest into the future faces a religious war and a weapon of such
power it might unravel the Universe. The lives of all of them, and the people
of their times, depend on unlocking the secret of the Canal and Tower.
