Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

A race of turtle-like creatures conquers Earth, imposing a gentler set of values on humankind, outlawing destructive technology, and denying the validity of human scientific theories. When their home planet disappears into a black hole, however, the aliens' only hope for the future hinges on the possibility that humanity's flawed sciences might contain a glimmer of truth. Two veteran sf authors combine their strengths to produce a novel that both explains and explores the "mysteries" of modern science. For most sf collections.

This review is from: The Singers of Time (Hardcover)

This is one of my favourate sci-fi novels by Jack Williamson. I don't see why it's not even that popular. I found it a bit hard to follow at the beginning but as I read on, it's getting more and more clear and exciting. I love the smart ideas in the book.
