2.0 out of 5 stars Goes on and on but does not get anywhere... 7 April 2013
By Kirillius
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
A friend recommended me thing book.
His preivious recommendations have been good so I listened to him. I should not have in this case.

This book is a very very average sci-fi book.
It takes a long while to get a bit interesting (it does manage to do it for a awhile) then goes back to mediocrity.
In the second half of the book you keep waiting for something exciting to happen but it never does.

So overall: don't bother - there are a lot better books out there to lose yourself in.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun SF romance with interesting ideas 27 Jan 2012
By Always Cogitating - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In order to be a "faster than light" pilot, you have to remove your heartbeat by getting a continuous rotary pump in place of your heart. (perhaps inspired by the rotary Mazdas that don't seem to be around any more.)
But what happens when you achieve the much coveted status of Pilot with a successful transformation, and then meet an intriguing guy that you really like/love who has an extremely strong time sense...?
I read it many years ago, more than once, as much for the romantic attraction as for the drama and speculation about how we might modify the human body for various uses, from deep sea living to space travel... I think there's a sequel that continues the characters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Free SF Reader 3 Sep 2007
By Blue Tyson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
In Vonda N. McIntyre's Superluminal, a woman has to undergo bodily augmentation and alteration in order to cope with the pressures of being a starship pilot, e.g. the ability to go superluminal.

Don't want to be a cyborg? Then this is not the job for you, the whole flying around in space thing. You won't have to worry about getting a pacemaker though.
