Gravity and carries it a giant step (how else?) forward.”—Isaac

too much real physics.”—Larry Niven
“This is one for the real science-fiction fan.”—Frank Herbert

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.

original, speculative ideas.”—The Washington Post
