5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent hard-science novel,
By A Customer
This review is from: STARQUAKE (Mass Market Paperback)
If you're not excited by feeling your mind being stretched by science that is right at the very edge of theoretical physics, then you may be someone who thinks this book is "boring". If you aren't filled with wonder as an entire utterly alien civilization is presented to you, then you might not like this book. But if you're enraptured by a plausible alien civilization that uses almost future-magic technology which is nevertheless comprehensible (especially if you're an avid reader of physics journals or popularizations), then this book will be one of your favorites. Negatives: Bob Forward is at his best when writing about the science; he is weakest when writing dialog. For the alien dialog, this isn't really a problem, but sometimes the way his human characters phrase their sentences will make one wince. I found this fairly easy to overlook, but others may not.

Fantastic - this is my all time favourite. A work of art !!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: STARQUAKE (Mass Market Paperback)
Dragons Egg and Star Quake are my all time favourite sci-fi books ! (Star Quake is the follow on to Dragons Egg) I just could not put this book down ! Trying to describe the story line in the space available would not do the book justice. Robert's description of this civilization, its history and its personal stories in all of its micro wonders is just amazing. This book is hard to find, if you see it anywhere ... BUY IT IMMEDIATELY !

This is a great read, I was very impressed with the premise of the novel. I hope Mr. Forward writes more stories about these truly unique characters.
