| | 1. |  | Dragon's Egg (Del Rey Impact)
from Del Rey
Price: $10.99
Customer Review:
Has science fiction grown too tame? We pride ourselves on a greater realism these days, on a willingness to explore limitations as well as possibilities, negatives as well as positives. We enjoy the camp value of the old glittering space-ships and many-tentacled monsters, but we like to think of... more info

| | 2. |  | Rocheworld
from Baen
Price: $9.73
Customer Review:
I've never read much science fiction in my day, much less books with more hard scifi than fantasy elements, but Forward does a really good job of keeping the novice scifi reader hooked in the book, even when describing the gravitational pulls of binary planets or Newtonian law and how it affects the... more info

| | 3. |  | Starquake
from iUniverse
Price: $14.57
Customer Review:
Dragon's Egg is a stand-out book. The ideas expressed in it were fresh, original and presented in a dynamic and interesting way.
Starquake doesn't *quite* live up to the original. By the point where Starquake starts, a lot of the initial sense of wonder has faded to familiarity and the slack... more info

| | 7. | [no image] | Flight of the Dragonfly
from Baen Book
Price: $43.20
Customer Review:
The book was not written to the author's satisfaction due
to time contraints. He was later able to write the "expanded"
version titled "Rocheworld", which you should buy if you
just want to read the novel. If you want to have the
original for your collection, buy this one... more info

| | 10. |  | Indistinguishable From Magic
from Baen
Price: $19.95
Customer Review:
Sorry, I love big words. The fiction was not impressive, but the science is. Dr Forward is one of the big guns theoretical physics and it shows. He explores the ways impossible science-fiction concepts like antigravity, time travel, or faster-than-light travel might be done (if the gray areas of... more info
