Proof, new fiction isn't always the best choice...
I have read this book several times over the years, I really favor this type of fiction (science?) This book is so well written it has stood up to the test of time, as good as any newer fiction of the same genera. Give this book a chance, you won't be sorry. You don't have to buy it, I saw a couple of copies in my local library, I'll bet most full size librarys have a copy. Happy reading.
