Interesting combination of short stories and excerpts from some of Bova's novels. Some of the stories are excerpted from novels, but they hold up on their own. Recycled from the Grand Tour books...."Nothing to see here, move along." ( ) Ben Bova is a competent science fiction writer, this being a compilation of his stories about mankind's expansion through the solar system - dubbed the "Grand Tour" by his fans. Some of the stories are excerpted from novels, but they hold up on their own. All are worth the read, with "Appointment in Sinai", about the impact of VR (Virtual Reality) of particular interest to me. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

In novels like Mars and Moonbase, and Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn, as well as Privateers, The Precipice, and The Rock Rats, Ben Bova has been telling the stories of the wars and rivalries, the outsize individuals, public crusades, and private passions that will drive us as we expand into the Solar System and make use of its vast resources. And throughout, Bova has shown our cosmic neighborhood as we know it to be, giving us a sense of Venus and Jupiter and the Asteroid Belt and Mars that's as up-to-date as the latest observations. For the last two decades have been a golden age of near-Earth astronomy and observation, and in his novels Bova has made dramatic use of our newest knowledge.But during that time Bova has also written short fiction about some of the same events and characters - Sam Gunn, Martin Humphries, Klaus Fuchs, Dan Randolph, the Asteroid Wars. Now, in Tales of the Grand Tour, those stories are collected in book form for the first time, creating a volume that is a landmark of modern SF. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
