?In science fiction there is only a handful of books that stretch the mind?and this is one of them.??Arthur C. Clarke In a moving story of sacrifice and triumph, human scientists establish a relationship with intelligent lifeforms?the cheela?living on Dragon?s Egg, a neutron star where one Earth hour is equivalent to hundreds of their years.

Praise for Dragon?s Egg ?Bob Forward writes in the tradition of Hal Clement?s Mission of Gravity and carries it a giant step (how else?) forward.??Isaac Asimov ?Dragon?s Egg is superb. I couldn?t have written it; it required too much real physics.??Larry Niven ?This is one for the real science-fiction fan.??Frank Herbert ?Robert L. Forward tells a good story and asks a profound question. If we run into a race of creatures who live a hundred years while we live an hour, what can they say to us or we to them???Freeman J. Dyson ?Forward has impeccable scientific credentials, and . . . big, original, speculative ideas.??The Washington Post show more
