Left Bank Books - Central West End (downstairs)

The author of Tides of Light offers his Nebula Award-winning SF classic--a combination of hard science, bold speculation, and human drama. In the year 1998, a group of scientists works desperately to communicate with the scientists of 1962, warning of an ecological disaster that will destroy the oceans in the future--if it is not averted in the past.

Gregory Benford Larry Niven

SF luminaries Gregory Benford and Larry Niven follow Bowl of Heaven, their first collaborative work, with Shipstar. They return readers to the Shipstar “the Bowl,” where the avian inhabitants continue their alliances and adversarial encounters with the curious primate newcomers. Analog Magazine welcomed the series, noting, “If you like hard SF with mind-stretching ideas — both physical and psychological — then you definitely want to read this book ...”

In addition to being a Nebula Award-winning author, Greg is a physics professor and a poet. Larry has won multiple awards in the Speculative Fiction Field, including the Hugo and Nebula.
