Ring
1994 science fiction novel by Stephen Baxter
From back cover Harper paperback June 1996:

Poole was never seen again. Then from far in the future, from a time so distant that the stars themselves were dying embers, came an urgent SOS -- and a promise. The universe was doomed, but humankind was not. Poole had stumbled upon an immense artifact, light-years across, fabricated from the very string of the cosmos.
The Universe had a door. And it was open....
