Customer Reviews

Fascinating Science!

I was absorbed by the facts and science in this book- well writtend and not boring. It flows along without staggering on shop-talk. Scary things are said!

great nonfiction & fiction

This is the first book by James P. Hogan that I've read and I'll certainly read more. It contains a fascinating nonfiction article on plasma physics and the sun ("The Cosmic Power Grid") that builds upon the work of Hans Alfven, challenging the notion that the sun is powered by fusion. For sheer speculative thinking, this one's got to get an A+. The fiction and the nonfiction in the volume is inspired by the same imaginative scope.
