Praise for John Barnes
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
The Man Who Pulled Down the Sky was John Barnes debut novel, chosen by Isaac Asimov to showcase raising stars of science fiction. I was never a fan of this particular genre of science fiction, but was pleasantly surprised by how easily it was to be lured into the story. Barnes weaves todays political and social history into a not so unreal futuristic drama. His characters are truly believable with all the emotional pitfalls and frailties we all have. The story line flows smoothly, introducing a new realm that is very credible and thought provoking. If you are looking for horrific life forms as a story line, you won't find it here. Barnes is the thinking mans science fiction writer, who produces a novel which slides you into a world that you take for fact that what you are reading can and will be in our future. Does H. G. Wells ring a bell?
