5.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this book unless you are a collector., September 17, 2001
By 
George C. Glanzmann "Chris" (Buena Park, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Flight of the Dragonfly (Paperback)
The book was not written to the author's satisfaction due

to time contraints. He was later able to write the "expanded"

version titled "Rocheworld", which you should buy if you

just want to read the novel. If you want to have the

original for your collection, buy this one also.

5.0 out of 5 stars Contact to alian lifeform on far-away double planet, July 2, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: The Flight of the Dragonfly (Paperback)
An exeptional well researched and written book.

A probe from earth discovers life on a distant double planet.

No further information is transmitted from the probe.

A research team is scrambled from earth. The team knows it will never return back.

The book describes very poetic their journey and the difficulties encountered
by the engineering team on earth to keep this spaceship operating.

When the spaceship arrives, they unexpectedly encounter an intelligent lifeform.

The aliens are a friendly species mostly occupied by mathematic problems.

Though very interested in their new visitors.

Everything doesn't go as planned - but then again - they seldom do.

Although this seems detailed - but the good stuff has been left out.

No violence - but a very beutifull and rich detailed story.

Figures to explain the technical stuff is included and of excellent nature.

I read it first time in german. I think it is originally french.
