| | 1. |  | Foundation's Fear (Foundation Trilogy)
from Eos
Price: $3.40
Customer Review:
Did this man even READ the original series? Did he secretly hate/envy Isaac Asimov? It's the only thing I can think of to explain this mess. The writing starts out bad then gets worse and finally is almost unreadable. If you decide you must read this (glutton for punishment?) you should know you can... more info

| | 2. |  | Timescape
from Pocket Books
Price: $9.99
Customer Review:
I felt like I was reading classic Heinlein. This is a great hard sci-fi book. The thought of sending messages into the distant past is not only truly feasible, but something I expect will come to fruition one day. Not sure that "tachyons" will be the transport but, whatever the mechanism, the... more info

| | 4. |  | Great Sky River (A Bantam Spectra Book)
from Spectra
Price: $17.25
Customer Review:
This book certainly employs some familiar elements: humanity in conflict with a machine culture intent on their destruction, a male protagonist who is something of a rebel and a loner, a "Road Warrior"-type setting with a scavenger band on the run through a devastated landscape. There is quite a bit... more info

from Bantam
Customer Review:
Robot centipedes aren't good.
Or, this book follows on from Great Sky River, with Killeen in charge of his particular group of chess piece clan human strugglers. Mechs, mechanical big insects, other people, pretty much it seems everything is out to get them, in general.
Not much different... more info

| | 6. |  | Across the Sea of Suns (Galactic Center)
from Aspect
Price: $9.99
Customer Review:
I just want to add my voice to the other 5 star reviews and acknowledge this book as one of the best in hard science fiction. The writing style is akin to the multi-speak pioneered in TV on shows like Hill Street Blues and in movies by Robert Altman. Not everyone's cup of tea, but very effective... more info

| | 8. |  | The Martian Race
from Aspect
Price: $24.82
Customer Review:
I sent $30 for The Martian Race by Gregory Benford thinking I was getting a standard hardback with dust jacket etc. What I recieved was an edition with a text book like quality. A hard glossy finish. I am not sure what kind of edition this was but it was not what I was looking for. In the... more info

| | 9. | [no image] | Against the Fall of Night
from Orion
Price: $52.98
Customer Review:
I read this book first when I was probably 15, 45 years ago, and it became a book with a story that has haunted me my whole life. It has always seemed a masterpiece of science fiction and, with City and the Stars - a richer novel than Against the Fall of Night, but the title less so! - one of... more info
