| | 1. | [no image] | Rocheworld
from Baen Books
Customer Review:
The author was clearly someone who loved science. However, in his attempt to describe the science in way too much detail, he forgot things such as logic. There are too many plot holes in both science and characters' actions that just shouldn't have been made. Just one, mid-level, example is sending... more info

from Del Rey
Price: $17.10
Customer Review:
It's been a couple of decades since I first read this brilliant book, but the passage of time has not diminished my enthusiasm for it. Relativity is a difficult concept for most people to grasp, because we tend to see so little of it within the context of the 'ordinary' human scale. And yet--with... more info

Customer Review:
How long does it take for a civilization to rise from one of hunter-gatherers to interstellar spaceflight? Or to fall back again to primitive, subsistence levels? Years? Decades? Centuries? Millennia?
For the cheela, just a few hours.
The cheela are among the most intriguing aliens ever to... more info

One of the better ones in the series.

We even get a couple of... more info

| | 5. |  | Saturn Rukh
from Tor Science Fiction
Customer Review:
Robert Forward is a scientist who writes fiction. He thinks and describes in terms of science problems and then writes a fictional story around it.

This is the second title (out of five) in the Rocheworld Saga. The humans sent to Barnard's system discovered intelligent (in the most stringent sense of the word) life on Rocheworld, a weird double planet subject to complex dynamics and tidal forces. These aliens -the flouwen- are aquatic... more info

| | 9. |  | Camelot 30K
from Tor Books
Customer Review:
This is basically hundreds of pages of text, masquerading as a story. What he
really wants to do here is tell everyone about this cool idea he had about
what aliens might be like if they lived near Pluto...and if they were insects.
90% of the book then explains how all this works... more info

from Backinprint.com
Price: $19.95
Customer Review:
So here we have domesticated Aliens made of exotic negative matter
being the basis of interstellar travel. Throw in information transfer from the future and a really bad guy and you have adventure through space and time. This book is better than a lot of Forward's work as he
doesn't try... more info
