Carl Sagan's 'Contact' was a damn good read too. Goes along the same science-fact thinking. I admire it so, cos it's a really good read - strong characters and well thought out story. Admittedly, the film (of the same name) was pretty good too - a bit Hollywood - and has become dated quickly, and the ending was different, but still in my top ten book and film list.

Baxter is also an author who's many books I own and have read -I can't remember many of the title or plots - just that the main character was called Malenfaint (sp?). Not too distressing tho', just means I'll read 'em again, and possibly again.

Clarke - yes I do concur - early work beats recent stuff (much like paper beats rocks..) 2001, 2010, 2061 and 3001 - cracking!!

Know of any other science-fact authors you recommend?????
