Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -When a private eye undergoing a moral crisis uncovers a long-buried starship that's still occupied by nasty aliens, he and woman he loves have to overcome them to survive. Ben Takent is a private eye on a hot, dusty world at the edge of the civilized galaxy. When he's asked to find out who is stealing artifacts from a 10,000-year-old archaeological dig in the desert, he reluctantly takes the case. Then, when it becomes clear that the artifacts are pointing to an ancient alien spacecraft, the stakes in the case go up-way up. -Reviews- 'My favorite kind of story-a novel that starts small, then slowly builds in momentum until it fairly explodes with excitement. Deep Quarry is intriguing, mystery/science fiction at its best.'-Rave Reviews 'A fun cross-genre fling.'-Locus 'I let a couple of John Stith's SF mysteries go by without checking them out. If I'd been a little faster off the mark, I could have turned you on to a good thing earlier.'-Isaac Asimov's SF Magazine 'Sense of wonder story-telling at its best, with enough danger to keep me reading long past my bedtime. Come on. You've been good. You deserve to read Deep Quarry. Stith can do it every time.'-Magazine of Fantasy & SFLibri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 238 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One man must stop starship hijackers from using an unusual starship to plunder a wealthy colony. Aboard the Redshift, light moves so slowly you can see its passage, and relativistic tricks are an integral part of shipboard life. Flip a light switch and see the room slowly fill with light. Run fast, and the view ahead shifts into blue, and you can create sonic booms. One component of the book is this slow-light thought experiment, a la Flatland by Edwin A. Abbott or Mr. Tomkins in Wonderland by George Gamow. (The appendix separates actual Theory of Relativity principles from speculation and fabrication.) Science Fiction Book Club selection, HOMer Award winner, Science Fiction Chronicle best of year list, LOCUS recommended Reading List, Nebula Award nominee. Praise for Redshift Rendezvous 'The list of science fiction authors who play the game the hard way by sticking to the rules of science is all too short. Now to that group which includes Clarke, Niven, Asimov, Bear, and Clement should be added the name of John E. Stith.' --Dan Simmons 'If you love writers who play techy games with reality.pick this one up.' --Analog 'Mystery and adventure against a fascinating hard science background. This is without question Stith's best work to date.' --Science Fiction Chronicle 'Redshift Rendezvous represents an ingenious exploration of an idea in a manner that only science fiction can allow.' --Locus 'a unique, fascinating hard SF novel. Recommended.' --Library Journal 'This is absolutely one of the most terrific ideas for an SF novel I've seen in years. My first thought was, Why couldn't I have come up with this ' My second thought, too.' --Connie Willis.

Reviews 'One part mystery, one part other worlds adventure, this is a well controlled and thoroughly entertaining joyride right up through its final pages.' --Science Fiction Chronicle 'A reunion with a sense of wonder awaits us in John Stith's latest SF thriller. What Stith has accomplished in this book is a sprightly, fast-paced humorous romance.' --Science Fiction Age 'Stith's writing is direct, delightful, and uncomplicated. His approach is a mixture of SF, espionage, and William Powell/Myrna Loy-style action, which should please any fans who look for a little fun in their reading.' --Starlog 'Good science fiction has always transcended the genre: stories that contained Mystery, Romance, and a bit of fun mixed in with the bold futurism. And of those that do it well, and in a way that appeals to readers of all ages, Reunion on Neverend is one of the very best.' --James A. Owen, author of Here, There be Dragons.
