5.0 out of 5 stars sci-si mixed with a bit of sci fact 21 April 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
so it has hyper drive and telepathy, it also explains the mundane of archology, and just how digital data transmission realy works, gets round inter racial tension with inter species tension and there by is able to discuss how you could resolve the former with out upsetting any one, and a pretty good dig at government beaurocracy as well.

I enjoyed this book, but it is probably the RS book i have least enjoyed. That said, I have absolutely loved everything else i've read of his so that's not too much of a criticism!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Archeology and Sci-Fi Adventure! 17 Jan 2001
By James A. Landrith Jr. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book combines archeology, anthropology and old-fashioned science fiction adventure for an excellent read! Fast paced and a quick read. Highly recommended!

Short Synopsis: An archeological team studying "High Ones" artifacts makes a startling discovery that leads them across our galaxy, from planet to planet in search of the "High Ones", a civilization that roamed the stars a billion years ago.

3.0 out of 5 stars Children's literature 4 Sep 2006
By Mark Fisher - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I read Silversberg as a child. I found him enjoyable. In many ways his books were very much like longer versions of the fiction I read in Omni magazine. Some Americans call him a 3rd rate hack,but I was on Amazon looking for a copy for my own kids. I robot is better, 2001 is better of course. But this is fantasy to escape (in our case months of winter). RS still gave me hours of escape and kept me reading as a boy. If I had not practiced on his books, I would never have been able to read Dune. If Kilgore Trout were a real author, I think he would write with similar quality.
