Synopsis

It is 2061, and Halley’s Comet is starting its long journey out to the far reaches of the solar system. Only this time it is not alone.

Harnessing the mighty ball of ice is the greatest challenge mankind has undertaken – and in a century of ecological disasters and social fragmentation on Earth it is also mankind’s greatest hope. So when a series of startling discoveries threatens to jeopardise the mission, the small group of scientists and engineers hurtling further away from their home world find themselves fighting not only for their lives, but for the future of humanity.

Heart of the Comet is a breathtaking tale of scientific endeavour and human courage by two of the most formidable talents in science fiction.

Robert L. Forward

"In science fiction there is only a handful of books that stretch the mind--and this is one of them."--Arthur C. Clarke

In a moving story of sacrifice and triumph, human scientists establish a relationship with intelligent lifeforms--the cheela--living on Dragon's Egg, a neutron star where one Earth hour is equivalent to hundreds of their years.

Praise for Dragon's Egg

"Bob Forward writes in the tradition of Hal Clement's Mission of Gravity and carries it a giant step (how else?) forward."--Isaac Asimov

"Dragon's Egg is superb. I couldn't have written it; it required too much real physics."--Larry Niven

"This is one for the real science-fiction fan."--Frank Herbert

Moving Mars

★ 3.85

Greg Bear

Moving Mars is a story of human courage and love set within the greater saga of a planetary liberation movement. Mars is a colonial world, governed by corporate interests on Earth. The citizens of Mars are hardworking, but held back by their lack of access to the best education, and the desire of the Earthly powers to keep the best new inventions for themselves. The young Martians -- the second and third generations born on Mars -- have little loyalty to Earth, and a strong belief that their planet can be independent. The revolution begins slowly, but will grow in power over decades of political struggle until it becomes irresistible.

Told through the eyes of an extraordinary character, Casseia Majumdar, a daughter of one of Mars' oldest, most conservative Binding Multiples, Moving Mars is Greg Bear's brilliant conception of the human colonization of the red planet, with lovingly painted details and a grand historical sweep, embellishing an audacious scientific speculation.

And this mind cradles memories of a long-gone age when a more compact universe was full of light... The 27th century: Proxima Centauri, an undistinguished red dwarf star, is the nearest star to our sun. How would it be to live on such a world?

Unfortunately his clone-brother Mark and his cousin Ivan have cunning plans of their own, and the three-way collision of cunning plans threatens to undo Miles' brilliant romantic strategy.
