4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, 23 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Saturn Rukh (Hardcover)
I enjoyed this book very much. It started slow, but got quicker paced as it went a long. I found it funny at times. This is my first book by Robert Forward, and I would read some of his other books as time permits...Enjoy....Mike

4.0 out of 5 stars It was pretty good. Worth reading., 24 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Saturn Rukh (Hardcover)
I thought the author did a very good job at making a realistic story. There were some parts that I wish he wouldn't go into so much detail about the science. But the aliens were very well done characters. I'd recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun, thought provoking hard sci-fi read., 21 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Saturn Rukh (Hardcover)
I just finished reading Saturn Rukh. It does my heart good to know that this quality of science fiction is still being written. Dr. Forward's aliens are believeable and fun. His human characters are a bit less believable at times, but once you know you like Forward's writing, that just seems stylistic. I look forward to more Forward!
