4.0 out of 5 stars Wow - recent science. 27 Mar 2011
By N. Roberts
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I bought 1/2 of this book (by accident) from a 2nd hand stall for 20p. I enjoyed the 1st 1/2 so much I had to buy a complete copy on Amazon.
There are lots of scientific ideas on genetics and evolution that I naively believed was recent knowledge - then you remember that this book was written in the 70's!
Enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sadly-neglected writer 22 Aug 2001
By wvmcl - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
It is a shame that the British sci-fi writer Brian Stableford is not better known in the U.S. "The Florians" is the first in an outstanding six-part series known as "The Daedelus Mission", which I would rank as the best science fiction series I have ever read.

The plot of the series is rather "Star Trek" like - a mission to visit remote planets and check up on previous colonization attempts. But the intricate plots and scientific detail go far beyond anything in "Star Trek." Each planet visited has a unique ecosystem and evolutionary history which Stableford (a biologist himself) describes in detail. The speculation about alternative results of evolution is fascinating, and the problems encountered make for exciting stories. If you can find this or any of the other five in the series, grab them.
