Abisso del Passato è un racconto lungo ma molto intrigante, a differenza del racconto di Mark Twain "A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court" qui la ricostruzione storica è vera ed eccellente. Uno storico americano dei gioorni nostri è colpito da un fulmine davanti al Pantheon a Roma, e si ritrova...

Norby Through Time and Space
| Author | Janet Asimov |
| ISBN | 0441586376 |
I hadn't read any of the Norby books before, so I was just jumping into the middle of things with the characters and the world and all. While having read the prior books might have been a little helpful, jumping in is certainly not a problem. I think I picked this up at a bag book sale based solely on Asimov as...

Planets of Adventure is an anthology of short stories. It contains one almost full-length story and several shorter stories, all of which are based on the theme implied by the title. The quality of the stories was pretty consistent – they weren’t terribly engaging, but they did hold my interest...

Every minute spent reading this book was a tedious chore. The period language combined with dialogue in horrific phonetic accents makes it a painful struggle to get through. It took me two and a half months to finish when I usually read a book in a few days.
The whole book is really just following the...
The Best of All Possible Wars
| Author | Larry Niven |
| ISBN | 0671878794 |
The Man-Kzin Wars is probably the best -- and most successful -- of the shared-world series. Now up to number 8, it has spawned a "best-of", and it's pretty good: two Larry Niven shorts, a Greg Bear / S.M. Stirling novelette, and a Jerry Pournelle / S.M. Stirling short novel.
The Larry Niven opener,...

| ISBN | 0812514297 |
Ben Bova wrote the Orion series to explore one big idea: what is our relationship to god or to the gods? Does humanity create the gods or do the gods create humanity? What if the relationship is circular and more messy than you think? Orion was created by the Creators, to fight their battles in their past....
| Author | Timothy Zahn |
| ISBN | 1416520651 |
I find that I cannot provide an honest review of Timothy Zahn’s books. I unconditionally love everything he writes. Some of it is better than others but I find even when I start to notice things that would have driven me crazy in other authors I don’t mind it so much.
If you haven’t read Timothy...

Here too there are whales to hunt—but whales that soar through...
