Has anyone read "The Crucible of Time" by John Brunner?
It is one of the latest selections by the SF Book Club
and sounds interesting, but $6.89 is more than I want
to pay for a pig-in-a-poke (I'm cheap). Thanks in advance
for any info or reviews. Mail direct to me or post to
the net as you think appropriate.

I'd like the information also, and I would like to expand the request a little bit. Brunner is a writer who has put out some work I love and some I hate. His ecological/future shock books such as "Shockwave Rider", "The Sheep Look Up", and "Stand on Zanzibar" were excellent from my point of view. "Players at the Game of People" and "The Dramaturges of Yan" I disliked. I would like to see some reviews of Brunner in total, not just of "Crucible of Time". I hope the original author doesn't mind me horning in on the request. Bob McQueer ihnp4!druxt!mcq

#R:ihuxn:-48800:uiucdcs:12500064:000:456 uiucdcs!friedman Jan 18 09:41:00 1984 Asimov's magazine published what I believe are two chapters from The Crucible of Time, fairly recently. I don't remeber which issues, but every January, they publish an author index of the previous year's articles. I enjoyed the two chapters, and am looking forward to reading the entire book. Oh, there's also a review of the book in one of the latest issues of Asimov's; it's come to mail subscribers, but I don't know if it's hit the newsstands yet.

I haven't read anything by Robert Heinlein (sp?) in several years, but
I understand that, after a long illness, he has a couple of new books.
The last of his books that I read was "Time Enough for Love."
Pardon my ignorance, but ......
Does he have anything new?
Do YOU recommend it?
Have there been any reviews on the net?
If so, do you have a copy?
This is probably old material, so please reply by mail.
