I haven't read any yet. Has anyone read it and has a comment on it? I would like to know how good it is. -------------- http://www.mp3.com/57_13/ http://www.angelfire.com/electronic2/57_ttpo_13/ NB: Avatar = Mirwais himself. Back to top

I read it once and enjoyed it - not my absolute favourite of Clarke's novels perhaps, but I think it's a nicely written book. Give it a try and see what you think... Back to top

Unregistered Posted: April 03 2002, 09:09 Believe me, The novel is not as good as the music, In fact, the novel was a big letdown to me! The music is and always will be WONDERFUL! Best,Jsexton@unca.edu Back to top

The idea of a 'realistic' sci-fi novel is interesting, and so far all of the technology in it does sound quite feasable. I won't reveal any of the plot that I've read, but it is also quite interesting. And no, I don;t plan to throw it in the bin if everyone say it is awful. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top
