1.	[no image]	Non-stop from faber and faber Customer Review: Among my favorite science fiction books are two books published this decade- The Algebraist by Iain M. Banks and The Prefect by Alastair Reynolds. Also in my shortlist are paperback novels from years when even my dad was in his youth, such as Voyage of the Space Beagle by A.E. van Vogt and Tau Zero... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		Helliconia Spring (Collier Nucleus Science Fiction Classic) from Collier Books Price: $11.00 Customer Review: It held my attention and kept me reading, but didn't convince me. The main reason is that Embruddock is simply too small to be as specialised as Aldiss insists - it's only about a hundred people at the start of the story, and yet it has guilds of tanners, metalworkers and god knows what else. In a... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		Helliconia Summer (Collier Nucleus Science Fiction Classic) from Collier Books Price: $193.89 Customer Review: This is by far the best book in the series - not quite great, but an interesting book to read. The characters are vibrant, their motivations understandable, the plot at least somewhat plausible. As with all the Helliconia books, there are many loose ends and the author never quite made me care about... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.	[no image]	Helliconia Winter (Helliconia Trilogy, Vol 3) from Collier Books Price: $7.99 Customer Review: This is a proper literary novel for grown-ups. The prose is beautiful, the characters memorable and nuanced, and the portrait of the cultures of Sibornal convincing and rich. Really, it's astounding that the Helliconia trilogy is not held in higher regard. It is one of the very best things... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.	[no image]	Canopy of Time from House of Stratus Customer Review: This is easily one of the best sci-fi novel, or just book, that I have ever read. This book is old and I had to obtain my copy via eBay, but it was worth it. The eight interconnected stories come to a surprising conclusion, and overall is very thought-provoking.

7.		Frankenstein Unbound from Warner Books Price: $9.95 Customer Review: Well written and plausible, with enough of the character development this sort of book needs.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		Supertoys Last All Summer Long, and Other Stories of Future Time from Orbit Book Co. Price: $195.84 Customer Review: Way back in the mid-1970s director Stanley Kubrick was looking for a new project and ran across Brian Aldiss' short story, 'Supertoys Last All Summer Long', in which a childless couple create their own android son, who tries to understand if he is real or not. Kubrick was moved by the story and... more info	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		Enemies of the System from House of Stratus Price: $4.99 Customer Review: What kind of book would you get if you squished Aldiss' Heliconia Series, "The Island of Doctor Moreau" and Orwell's "1984"? Enemies Of The System could serve as a preface to it. It's short, leaves a lot of loose ends and unanswered questions - yet dialogs and discussions are engaging, scenery might... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
