1.		The Last Theorem from Del Rey Price: $17.82 Customer Review: I agree with almost everything that has been said by the two main reviewers, but I'll put it more simply. A great premise: the light waves (and other advanced waves) from the 1945 bombs in Japan reach the guardians of the universe, and it is determined that Earth (which has always been watched... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Gateway (Heechee Saga) from Del Rey Price: $10.17 Customer Review: hehe, I'm funny. This is sort of "Solaris" sci-fi (the confusing 12 hours long Russian one, not the Clooney one), which has hard sci-fi spaceships whizzing about all over the place, conterpointed against an inner voyage through the psyche etc. (Hehe, I'm clever too). Yes, it's dated, but I... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Beyond the Blue Event Horizon (Heechee Saga, Book 2) from Ballantine Books Price: $17.10 Customer Review: I loved Gateway and couldn't wait to read this book. It was such a disappointment I intended to read no further in this series and am none too interested in reading Pohl again at all.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Platinum Pohl: The Collected Best Stories from Orb Books Price: $13.22 Customer Review: This is an anthology of Frederik Pohl's best short stories. Before reading this anthology, I had heard of Frederik Pohl, but the only story of his that I had read was "Creation Myths of the Recently Extinct" in "Analog", and that is an extremely short piece that does not give a reader much of a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		The Space Merchants from St. Martin's Press Price: $15.95 Customer Review: I agree with most reviewers on _Space Merchants_. Some have even thrown in a spoiler (rather, _told_ the entire story!) so I won't comment more on the character's actions, adventures, and the fast-paced storyline. Some of the science is dreadfully dated but a good story outlives such detail... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		The Boy Who Would Live Forever: A Novel of Gateway (Gateway Novels) from Tor Books Price: $7.99 Customer Review: This book is readable, but it's no "Gateway". Mr. Pohl gets too cute a bit often. Buy this book "used" if at all possible. On the other hand, his note at the end is fairly amusing when you consider the changes in our understanding of black holes since he wrote "Gateway".

7.		Heechee Rendezvous from Del Rey Customer Review: Book three of the trilogy... or is it? What was heralded as the "finale to the Heechee Saga" and yet which ends with the characters pondering all the facets which were mentions yet left out in the meat of the plot. Some "finale!" But, I must say that Rendezvous lends a helping hand to the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Gateway Trip from Del Rey Customer Review: The first part of this book is really good, the story of Audee Walthers will keep you reading and maybe you will learn something about Venus, the rest of the book is going down and down as you read, it doesn't have any punch to keep it reading, I can tell you that when you finish the story of Audee... more info	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Annals of the Heechee (Heechee Saga, Book 4) from Del Rey Customer Review: Well, well... for a saga named the Heechee Saga you would expect the plot to involve the Heechee species. Not so much! There is only one main Heechee character in this book and a handful of others pop up here and there. Rather, Book 4 concentrates (loose word for this book) on what the Assassins... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		The Far Shore of Time (Eschaton) from Tor Science Fiction Customer Review: THE FAR SHORE OF TIME(1999) is a quick read, and provides a fun ending to THE ESCHATON SERIES. The first two books in the series were the slow-paced THE SIEGE OF ETERNITY(1997), and the excellent THE OTHER END OF TIME(1996). The Eschaton is a religious concept that basically has all living... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		The Other End of Time (Eschaton) from Tor Science Fiction Price: $7.99 Customer Review: This is one of those books that teases you with some interesting possibilities and never delivers. The involvement of humans in a universe wide struggle between conflicting alien ideologies is an interesting premise and there were many plot elements that had great potential. Unfortunately they never... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		The Siege of Eternity (Eschaton) from Tor Science Fiction Customer Review: What a waste. Reading the jacket this sounded like it could be a good book, but what a waste. There is barely any action to speak of. It is mostly dialog, boring dialog, people complaining about their jobs and lives, governments complaining about things. Hardly any interaction with the aliens except... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

15.	[no image]	Our Angry Earth from Tom Doherty Assoc Llc Customer Review: This book is a classic on the subjects of the environment and global warming and is written in easy-to-understand language for the lay person. Reading or re-reading this 1991 book now, in 2006, is like finding a time capsule that predicted the future. There are sections on practical political... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		The Coming of the Quantum Cats from Spectra Price: $19.00 Customer Review: The problem with having written as many great works of science fiction as Frederick Pohl has is that sometimes that opus can overshadow a title or two. While not entirely neglected, this novel is usually not ranked alongside such classics as The Space Merchants, Gateway (Heechee Saga), and Jem.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

19.		The Best of Lester Del Rey (Del Rey Impact) from Del Rey Customer Review: Just an average collection at 3.28, with three good stories. Mostly SF, but a little fantasy, too. Best of Lester del Rey : Helen O'Loy - Lester del Rey Best of Lester del Rey : The Day Is Done - Lester del Rey Best of Lester del Rey : The Coppersmith - Lester del Rey Best of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		The SFWA Grand Masters, Volume 2: Andre Norton, Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Alfred Bester, and Ray Bradbury from Tor Books Price: $15.95 Customer Review: This is the first book I've bought for my son that he really loves. He adores all things monster trucks and is very artistic. Highly recommend for kids like mine.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
