Customer Reviews

Superb, full of wonderful ideas and an entertaining plot

One of my favorite science fiction books, the sort of book I think back on every once and a while that has stuck with me (I read it around 10 years ago).Really a fantastic set of ideas!

from here to eternity - book your seat

It's not often that a book can start here and now and finish at the end of the universe, and keep the same characters.If you want to know how to travel faster than light (and forget all that Star Trek warping nonsense) this is the book. The way to the stars is really shown, this really could happen. Charles Sheffield demonstrates the only way the human race could ever venture beyond the solar system, and with a wealth of belivable and sympathetic characters and plot. For and sci-fi fan this is an absolute must read.

Mind expanding!!!

This book is based on some interesting ideas about suspended animation etc. What makes it good is that it is not a cops and robbers story in a space setting, it is a genuine sci-fi story!!!
