Greg Bear recommends
The Space Merchants (1952)
(Space Merchants, book 1)
C M Kornbluth and Frederik Pohl
"One of Frederik Pohl's best novels - and my personal favourite. Complex people in tough situations on a marvelous and gritty world - who could ask for more from any novel?"
Requiem (1989)
Robert Heinlein
"86,000 words of Robert Heinlein - never been in book form before. A real treasure for all Robert Heinlein's children."
Deke! (1994)
Michael Cassutt and Donald K Slayton
"As authentic and enthralling as they come. Deke! gives essebtial insight into both Deke Slayton and the U.S. space program, in Deke's own quiet and matter-of-fact voice."
Receive the Gift (1997)
(Singers of Nevya, book 3)
Louise Marley
"Marley's knowledge of music and story makes for a stunning combination of talent."
Vast (1998)
(Nanotech Succession, book 3)
Linda Nagata
"Linda Nagata writes with a clear vision of humanity, science, and the future. Highly recommended."
Lion's Blood (2002)
(Lion's Blood, book 1)
Steven Barnes
"...magnificent, exciting and beautifully crafted...a passionate and compelling story..."
The Speed of Dark (2002)
Elizabeth Moon
"Absolutely compelling . . . A fine novel! Elizabeth Moon takes us to a part of the human neighborhood that is at once enchanting and heartbreaking."
Jovian (2003)
Donald Moffitt
"Packed with ideas and the true spirit of high-tech adventure. Excellent!"
Through Violet Eyes (2004)
(Violet Eyes , book 1)
Stephen Woodworth
"A fast, smart novel, brighter than a meteor and twice as scary. Woodworth provides shocks and thoughts in equal measure!"
Singularity (2004)
(Archon Sequence, book 1)
Bill DeSmedt
"A swift gripping novel with a goose-pimple mix of scary science and near-future action. An excellent debut from Bill DeSmedt."
Cusp (2005)
Robert A Metzger
"Cusp is both a page turning thriller and a gold mine of astonishing ideas."
End in Fire (2005)
Syne Mitchell
"A lean, tense thriller set in a very plausible future. Mitchell is a writer of considerable talent."
Veracity (2009)
Laura Bynum
"An utterly absorbing and impressive novel of technology, control, and pseudo-morality gone mad. Too close for comfort!"
Steel Wind (2018)
Jeff Edwards
"A taut, exciting story by an author who knows his Navy. Guaranteed to keep you turning pages well into the night!"
The Freeze-Frame Revolution (2018)
Peter Watts
"Fast, rich, and cool - The Freeze-Frame Revolution fascinates!"
Relic (2018)
Alan Dean Foster
"Relic is a thrilling and thoughtful epic. With Alan Dean Foster’s trademark invention in both the psychology and physiology of his aliens, he also enriches the narrative with their complex cultures. The plot spans galaxies!"
Venus Remembered (2020)
Ray Bradbury and Jason J Marchi
"Jason Marchi’s lovely story and loving tribute to one of our favorite writers."
Robot Artists and Black Swans (2021)
Bruce Sterling
"Sterling’s latest collection is rich and wide, a cross between Primo Levi and Jorge Luis Borges-with a touch of Philip K. Dick and William Gibson. I love it."
Stormland (2021)
John Shirley
"John Shirley's acerbic humor is a perfect match for his sense of doom and adventure. One of his best. Buckle in!"
