5.0 out of 5 stars
A science fiction precursor to the enormous Discworld series,
By A Customer
This review is from: Discworld Series Strata (Mass Market Paperback)
Kin Arad was a shaper of worlds. A terraformer. Also immortal, for as long as she could keep up an interest in life. So when an invisible man entices her with a flat world, she joins an alien crew and takes off for the (sci-fi) Discworld, where technology is so advanced it is taken for magic. A wonderful twist on the fantasy series, and certainly a strong influence for the series as well. Also, check out The Colour of Magic, the first Discworld book

4.0 out of 5 stars
A very good SF parody,
By A Customer
This review is from: Discworld Series Strata (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a much overlooked book (as people tend to concentrate on Pratchets Discworld novels) that gently pokes fun at the Hard SF genre. The story centers around four explorers on an unknown artifact at the edge of human space. Nivens Ringworld was obviously a big influence for this story. If you like your SF definatly tongue-in-cheek then I recommend this book
