Great Hard SF

I loved this book. I could hardly put it down. Being a science-oriented person, I had no problem with all the science. It did not seem dry or boring at all. The speculation as to the nature of intelligent life in a non-Terran ecosystem was fascinating. I highly recommend this book.
Another good book by Forward
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Can life exist in a gas giant's atmosphere? Intelligent life isa hard thing to find anywhere in the universe and this book gives us a whale of a story about a sea so far away. A mission of modern science has been to find other intelligent life and communicate with it. Very few unique kinds of intelligent life have been invented by hard science fiction writers. Robert Forward is one of the best at it.
Excellent Book

Hard Science Fiction with plausible conjecture.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Life; death; birth. The discovery of intelligent life within our solar system. Good science with a plausible plot and lots of entertainment along the way. What more could a science fiction fan ask for? It may be hard to quantify, but after reading Saturn Rukh, the reader is left knowing that Dr. Robert L. Forward has produced his magic combination once again. Plausibility is balanced with fascinating speculations of proportions that stretch your mind to provide the best of both worlds -- entertainment and educational enlightenment
