"Blackness, nothing, blind and absolute. Folk moaned in a kind of terror."
-Poul Anderson, The Avatar, XLIII, p. 359.
After the eleventh jump:
"Light, everywhere light. It was as if space had become a dewdrop in dawnlight, and they at its heart."
-XLIV, p. 366.
OK. The spaceship crew have been everywhere and now they are near their goal.

Kaor, Paul!
The tenth Jump: the heat death of the universe? Eleventh Jump: the monobloc of a new universe just beginning? You are much further ahead than I am, rereading THE AVATAR. I've only reached Chapter XI.
