The Crucible of Time
AuthorJohn Brunner
ISBN0345312244
There are some incredibly smart things Brunner does in this novel. The story is told from the perspective of a world of intelligent aliens as they reach out to discover the universe in which they live. They have to do that in ways that are very different from our own history in details (for example, they...

Far Horizons: All New Tales from the Greatest Worlds of Science Fiction
AuthorRobert Silverberg
ISBN0060817127
*****"Old Music and the Slave Woman" - Ursula K. LeGuin.
Yes, I checked this book out from the library because I saw that it had a LeGuin story I hadn't read before! And yes, this alone was worth the price of admission. (Well, since it was from the library there wasn't a price, but, you know...)
Set...
Destiny's Forge
AuthorPaul Chafe
ISBN1416520716
The length was intimidating, just under a thousand pages but worth it. Chafe has the military training and enough science smarts to pull it all together (I'm sure Larry was involved in a few pre-reads). There are elements of the Greek tragedies such as Jason and the Argonauts, Orpheus and Eurydice in...

But What of Earth?
AuthorPiers Anthony
ISBN0812530985
"But What Of Earth?" A great title. I was hooked on that alone.

However, I had to go about reading this one a different way than any other. There are, as any Anthony fan knows, two different versions of this novel. The first one was the hacked up, chewed-up-and-spat-out "Laser Book # 44" published...

The Planet on the Table
AuthorKim Stanley Robinson
