Ducost, if you're gonna keep put most(if not all) of the BA, I'd suggest doing the book over several time periods. Like this: Someone notices a star is missing and makes a note of it in a notebook of some kind. Sometime down the road, the book is discovered in some ruins and is confirmed as having been ahead of its time, so to speak. In this way, you'd be able to still have human life spans, but still have the book go through the end of the universe. Also, you could have the entity at the end be a sort-of outside observer, kinda swearing that s/he would do better the next time around.

Ah, that James is one clever cookie. An adaptation of James' idea would be to have an astronomer who is interested in history start looking at the records of old sky surveys and notice that some of the stars in the old ones are missing when he looks at recent ones. This would allow the story to occur in one lifetime.
James and I will split our share of the profits if you use this [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img].
