Rozpoczynając przygodę z tą serią początkowo nie mogłem się odnaleźć w specyficznym stylu autora książek. Jednak sam fabuła była na tyle interesująca, że po pewnym czasie wchłonęła mnie bez reszty. Tajemnica pierścienia oraz wartka akcja i mnóstwo przygód bohaterów powoduje, że czyta się ją z zapart...
William Burcher — "This is serious business"
The image is as powerful as anything in science fiction: an artificial, constructed world—a spinning ring orbiting a star at an incredible speed, its dimensions measured not in the thousands of miles (as Earth and its sister planets are) but in the millions and billions of miles. The inner surface o...

1995 - The first and best Science Fiction I ever read. I loved every second. 2016 - I thought it was time for a revisit to one of the best books I'd ever read and the book that taught me 'big & busy' was nothing to fear when picking a book. The cast of characters were many. Wes Dawson is wonderful, ...

I wanted Ringworld to engage me more. This is an adventure novel. There is a hard sci-fi element to the novel as well. We follow explorers as they are recruited to travel to and to explore Ringworld. Yet everything seemed to just fly past like the hovercycles trying to get to the edge of the ring. W...

Well I am finally back from my trip after finally finishing this monster of a book 20 minutes before my plane touched down at Melbourne Airport (and what a horrid flight it was: I really should have put my carry on bag into the overhead locker - I so didn't need my laptop because I was too exhausted...

Ringworld is definitely a sci-fi classic, a monumental achievement in world building. Any sci-fi aficionados who don’t like it should be ashamed of themselves.Argh! It’s never pleasant to go against the conventional wisdom but over at PrintSF (online SF discussion community) I see a lot of comments ...

First reading 1996:Everyone should have to read this in school. It'd without a doubt make teens love books. 2015: More than 20 years ago I read Lucifer's Hammer and I thought it was the best thing I had ever read. Since then every single big action book I've ever read has been compared to this one. ...

First, what I love about this book: the aliens! I've never read such a believable account of what aliens might be like. The ETs in this book are totally believable. They're brilliantly described and conceived. That's because they're conceived as biological animals with the same ultimate needs as h...

Two years ago, I was given the opportunity to review Writers of the Future Volume 28 and Volume 29. I loved them both so much!! Then again, last year, I was asked to review Volume 30. It was awesome!! So you can imagine how excited I was when I found out to review this year's edition, Writers of...

This book was ok, but it didn’t really grab me and keep me interested throughout the entire book. The premise is that, instead of the global warming that most people predicted, Earth entered into an ice age. Everybody’s attempts to "go green" and limit pollution actually helped hasten that ice age...
