First contact many moons ago! Got me Hooked!

First Anthony book I read, more years ago than I like! Next time I saw his name in a bookstore, I bought it. Never been disappointed!

A controls B controls C controls A controls B...

Definitely one of the best sci-fi books I have ever read, and especially commendable because of its early year. The book examines morality on an interplanetary scale, and puts the question to all of us: to what means would we resort if overpopulation became a matter of extinction? (shudder) You try to answer it, I'm not courageous enough.

Glad to Be a Human

This is an unusual story in this day and age, because it encourages the idea that there is an unquenchable spark of something unique and powerful in us earthlings. Twisting plot, space battles as well as battles on the ground, and pride at the victors, as well as admiration of the "aliens" who hoped for, recognized, and nurtured earthlings talent for chaos lead me to recommend this paperback to SF beginners.
