James Blish, The Triumph Of Time
Fred Hoyle & Geoffrey Hoyle, Into Deepest Space
Our universe is destroyed by contraction or by collision or is not destroyed. The authors seem to cover every option. Such vast themes are not easily confined to a single work:
Tau Zero has a prequel;
Into Deepest Space is a sequel;
The Triumph Of Time is Volume IV of a tetralogy which is also a future history series.
These works are closely conceptually connected and I drafted comparisons between them while awaiting the return of my laptop from the excellent repair service.

Kaor, Paul!
Poul Anderson later expressed some dissatisfaction with TAU ZERO. If he had not been pressed by need for both money and word limits, Anderson would have liked to have expanded/rewritten much of what he had written touching on astronomy and Bussard ramjet space ships.
