In this, the Year of the Comet, the reader is well advised to be cautious in the selection of reading matter with Comet in the title. Many comet-ose works of fiction and nonfiction are appearing on the racks to cash in on the swell of public interest. This cautionary note in no way applies to "Heart of the Comet," a scary, poetic, exciting, and ultimately encouraging novel that will be on recommended reading lists long after Halley has returned to the remote outer reaches of the solar system. An uneasy collaboration, then, bulging with ideas but with all the seams and patches showing: promising work that cries out for a thoroughgoing edit and rewrite. Appartiene alle Collane Editoriali
Gregory Benford and David Brin come together in this bold collaboration about our near human future in space. Prescient and scientifically accurate, Heart of the Comet is known as one of the great hard SF novels of the 1980s. First published in 1986, it tells the story of an ambitious manned mission to visit Halley's Comet, alter its orbit, and mine it for resources. But all too soon, native cells-that might once have brought life to Earth-begin colonizing the colonists. As factions battle over the comet's future-and that of Earth-only love, courage, and ingenuity can avert disaster and spark a new human destiny. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Storia affascinante, avvincente, emozionante che però ha il suo maggior punto di forza nelle incredibili idee che gli autori s'inventano (o forse si potrebbe dire *ipotizzano*?) e che interessano quasi ogni aspetto suddetto del contesto umano e scientifico-tecnologico. Un romanzo assolutamente da leggere. ( )
