About This Item
NY: Arbor House, 1985. first edition . fine hardcover fine jacket A novelette of the same name won the 1983 Nebula and 1984 Hugo awards. "A brilliant novel .... that extends the SF imagination to new horizons."- Barron AW, 4-50. "The climax is wonderful, transcendent. First-class speculative SF"- Pringle Ultimate SF, 44 ****. ".... It can be argued that the singular failure of almost all hard-SF writers to create noteworthy literature lies in their assumption that it is more difficult to understand - say - plasma physics than to understand human beings. The significance of GB's later 1980s novels lies in the fact that his human beings are more difficult to describe than his physics .... The close of the book .... has been appropriately likened to the climax of Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End (1953)."- CN SF Encyclo, p 99-100. 1985 Nebula Finalist for Best Novel and 1986 Hugo Finalist for Best Novel and 1986 John W. Campbell Memorial Second Runner-Up.
