| | 1. |  | Firstborn
from Del Rey
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
I share the prevailing opinions of the other reviewers. Both authors can do better than this - and have. I suspect that the problem was Clarke's approaching date with destiny. My speculation is that they agreed to spend the last chapters building up the suspense for a sequel which it would be up to... more info

| | 3. |  | Time's Eye (A Time Odyssey)
from Del Rey
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
Time's End is the result of a collaboration between Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter.
There is a alien spawned, sudden discontinuity (a "lack of continuity, logical sequence, or cohesion") in time on Earth. This results in a patchwork of geological eras and the subsequent landforms; an... more info

| | 6. |  | Evolution
from Del Rey
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
The best part of the book is the causal linkage of several episodes of willpower and sheer determination by humans' "evolutionary ancestors." It is a saga on a grand time scale, if not space scale, reminiscent of classics such as Asimov's Foundation series (though "Evolution" pales in comparison to... more info

| | 8. |  | Flood
from Gollancz
Price: $22.94
Customer Review:
I enjoyed the first 100 pages of this book, but then it quickly became a Clive Cussler-type world tour where the aim seemed to be to fit in as many place names as possible. When the story jumped abruptly to Houston TX for no apparent reason, I jumped to the last chapter, and it seemed I didn't miss... more info

| | 9. |  | Manifold: Origin
from Del Rey
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
The story is imaginative and well written. There are too many unnecessarily disgusting and violent scenes. After the third graphic and explicit baby-murder I just couldn't read any more.

| | 10. |  | Ring
from Eos
Price: $8.99
Customer Review:
There are (at least) three devastating flaws in this book.
1: Baxter, despite his obvious grasp of cosmology, becomes so caught up in telling a story that spans millions of years that he simply forgets that light is still subject to its eponymous speed limit. For example, the characters notice... more info
