(Original Review, 1980-11-06)The most well thought out model of time-travel I have ever seen in a novel was in Hogan's "Thrice Upon a Time". This book ascribes to the "reset" theory of world-lines; if you send a message into the past (no matter travels cross-time in this book but it doesn't seem to ...
Am Mond wird in einer Höhle die Leiche eines Raumfahrers entdeckt. Auf der Erde weiß niemand, wer dieser Mann ist und wie er dahin gekommen ist. Noch rätselhafter als sein Ursprung ist aber das Alter der sterblichen Überreste - denn es stellt sich heraus, dass die Leiche 50 000 Jahre alt ist. Damit ...
I didn’t read the synopsis for this book until after I had read the book. I’m glad I didn’t, because the synopsis pretty much sums up the first third of the book. Where’s the fun in that?After I had read a few pages, my initial thought was that this was going to be a “computers take over the world...
There are two kinds of time travel works of fiction. The one were the time travel just happens and the other one were the author takes you through every step of the science and the possible paradoxes involved. This book is of the later category. The author really understands physics and logic and kn...
This is the third of the Giants novels, after Inherit the Stars and The Gentle Giants of Ganymede. In the first novel, a body is found inside a space suit on the moon--and turns out to be 50 thousand years old. Later, on Ganymede, is found a derelict alien ship, with the remains of alien giants--and...
I have sixteen Hogan books on my shelves. I've been rereading them years after having bought them to decide which to keep. I've read a dozen of those now, and this is the first one that makes me understand why Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke once praised Hogan as worthy to be counted in their comp...
I like the premise. Basically, Hogan gives us three possible timelines. In the original timeline, a utopian future develops in the 21st century--one that never knew the horrors of the second World War and the cold war slowly melted into a "third way." But EVIL oligarchs unhappy losing power in 2025 ...
I really liked this beyond expectation. Those expectations were set by 8 other Hogan books on my shelves I'd been rereading deciding whether or not they'd keep a slot on my precious shelf space--I was finding the answer up to this had been no. They'd tended either to be too heavy-handed and preachy ...
I remember really, really liking this book when I first bought and read it. I'm doing a reread of books deciding which ones I'd like to keep, and this didn't make the cut; I stopped about half-way and decided this goes in the rubbish without reading further. I think the reason I liked this so much o...
I'm afraid I agree with an Amazon review I saw that this would have done much better as a short story or novella. This is a work of hard science fiction, with an emphasis on hard science and not so good on the fiction. Hogan has done better--I quite liked his characters in Realtime Interrupt, but he...
