| | 1. |  | Destroyer of Worlds
from Tor Books
Price: $15.88
Customer Review:
Although the races in this book are familiar to anyone who has read of Known Space or Ringworld, there is a rich new complexity to them all. The Pak, whose overarching militancy has only been portrayed in limited setting up till now, come to vivid life as several dominant tribes of truly deadly... more info

from Del Rey

Customer Review:
we had read this book a long time ago. It sticks in your mind because of it's ruthless truthfullness - people are animals when frightened. The book makes you scared for our race. this is not a hollywood soft pedal book.

| | 3. |  | Fleet of Worlds
from Tor Science Fiction
Price: $5.18
Customer Review:
It's OK, I guess, but just does not tie together. All the bits are there but they don't engage. For example: one of the characters is apparently a super-genius, except that he is a moron and really doesn't do anything. Another character looks interesting but then is reported to have died 'off... more info

from Tor Science Fiction
Price: $3.00
Customer Review:
...it is from a new perspective -ARM Agent Sigmund Ausfaller's viewpoint. And there is more new than old, despite what the negative reviewers say
To me, this is back to classic Niven as it explores the effects of technology on society, the ethics of alien cultures, and the age old question: Can... more info

from Del Rey
Price: $3.75
Customer Review:
I remember picking this book from the library and thinking "Oh! This must have been the basis for the game Halo." After reading it, however, I realized that this book was also the basis for other video games, such as the Wing Commander series of games and (for at least one interesting plot twist)... more info

Customer Review:
They did it! They wrote it! Here, after 33 years, is the sequel to Inferno, which in 1976 was a bestseller, nominated for both Hugo and Nebula awards.
Never read Inferno? Agnostic SF writer Allen Carpenter is at a convention dominated by a more popular, successful writer - a thinly veiled... more info

| | 8. |  | Ringworld's Children
from Tor Books
Price: $2.50
Customer Review:
I liked the original Ring World series, and like any book I enjoy, I found myself reading each book in a day or so.
I decided to read RingWorld's Children on the strength of the original series. However, after a couple of weeks, I am still only a 3rd of the way through. I picked it up again... more info

| | 9. |  | Inferno
from Orb Books
Price: $4.79
Customer Review:
I wasn't sure I would like this book. I liked Dante's Inferno well enough, more for its classical, mythology and historical references than for its theology, which was mostly lost on this 21st-century Reformed Protestant. But the idea of Dante's Inferno being rewritten with a 20th-century science... more info

| | 10. |  | The Mote in God's Eye
from Pocket Books
Price: $4.43
Customer Review:
If you like SF novels, then read this. The aliens are not morally better or worse than us. But they have evolved over a much longer age. Under what conditions does a more-evolved species eliminate a less-evolved one?
