The Flight of the Dragonfly
by Robert L. ForwardWith the publication of Dragon's Egg, a breathtaking, brilliantly extrapolated exploration of alien intelligence on a neutron star, Robert L. Forward delighted readers and critics alike with a tour-de-force marriage of known physics to the wonder-filled unknown, earning the praise of such masters as Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke. Now Dr. Forward turns that same sure eye, sharp and twinkling, to the corrosive, lopsided seas and jagged, volcanic peaks of the double-globed planet Roche-world, discovered in the near future by flyby probes sent to scan the region surrounding Barnard's Star, and chosen as the destination for the first manned expedition beyond our solar system. Propelled on their generation-long, sub-light speed voyage by laser-powered lightsails, a select crew of sixteen top pilots, astrophysicists, and other specialists aboard the interstellar ship Prometheus acquaint themselves with such shipboard marvels as the computerized "imps" and the "Christmas Bush" while readying the surface excursion module known as Magic Dragonfly for its descent into the frontiers of Roche and Eau, the environmentally disparate, atmospherically linked components of the world from which they can never return. When the Dragonfly accidentally crash-lands during its investigative pursuit of an anomaly in Eau's ammonia- laden seas, the crew aboard Prometheus plan a rescue mission while deciphering the data coming in through "Jill, the Dragonfly's onboard computer, at breakneck speed. For the "anomaly," one of many, is not only intelligent but as inquisitive as the humans set adrift upon Eau's frozen seas. While across the gulf of space, all humanity awaits word of the Dragonfly's fate, human and flouwen confront each other to span the gulf of fear and solitude, and each greets the emissaries of an alien race.

The Flight of the Silvers
by Daniel Price"I could list the wonders of this new world for a while, but I'd rather let you discover them for yourself when you read the book. You should read this book! I loved The Flight of the Silvers. I found it very difficult to put it aside to deal with my own life...It really is an amazing book." -SF Crow's Nest Without warning, the world comes to an end for Hannah and Amanda Given. The sky looms frigid white. The electricity falters. Airplanes everywhere crash to the ground. But the Givens are saved by mysterious strangers, three fearsome and beautiful beings who force a plain silver bracelet onto each sister's wrist. Within moments, the sky comes down in a crushing sheet of light and everything around them is gone. Shielded from the devastation by their silver adornments, the Givens suddenly find themselves elsewhere, a strange new Earth where restaurants move through the air like flying saucers and the fabric of time is manipulated by common household appliances. Soon Hannah and Amanda are joined by four other survivors from their world--a mordant cartoonist, a shy teenage girl, a brilliant young Australian, and a troubled ex-prodigy. Hunted by enemies they never knew they had and afflicted with temporal abilities they never wanted, the sisters and their companions begin a cross-country journey to find the one man who can save them--before time runs out. "The Flight of the Silvers is a fabulous piece of speculative fiction. Its opening chapter is completely captivating, introducing Amanda and Hannah in a way that is unforgettable... This is an intricately plotted novel and it is also a beautifully written one. Enjoyable wordplay - including the creation of new words and the clever use of phrases - make The Flight of the Silvers as intellectually engaging as it is fun.... It's a substantial book but a hugely enjoyable one and it is extremely difficult to put down." -For Winter Nights blog
