Book Description

February 1, 1983
Ken Jackin has defeated death forty-six times thanks to the extraordinary phenomenon called Anomalous Physics, but now he has his most difficult mission: stop the experiments on a runaway space colony. In order to get into the colony Ken and his lovely and seductive partner, Rossa Corman, must die and be reborn again. Together they have surpassed death in order to save humanity and must face the most dangerous peril they have ever experienced. The clock is ticking as Ken and Rossi scramble to save the very core of the universe from being destroyed. Can they do it in time?

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good easy readin' scifi, November 21, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Space Eater (Paperback)
A surprisngly good read. I bought this as one of perhaps fifty scifi paperbacks at a used bookstore; it was good enough to make me go and look up what else he's written. (Rather a lot, it turns out.) Just good scifi.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard SF at its Best!, March 14, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Space Eater (Paperback)
Langford had a long career as a professional physicist, and this shows in the convincing physics he puts on display in this fast-moving, thought-provoking tale. At the same time, he wears his expertise lightly: the reader is never stifled by the science, nor struggling to comprehend it. Very few authors get this balance right, but Langford does it perfectly ... and tells a rollicking good tale into the bargain. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome "Pandoras Box" Sci-Fi!, January 7, 2010
This review is from: The Space Eater (Paperback)
Excellent writing with great details, from gruesome first-person deaths to tricky situations that reminded me of the great dilemmas Asimov would set up in the Foundation series (which constitutes about 1/3 of the sci-fi i've read ;) I'm not sure if certain small, insignificant parts were confusing, or if i was just sleep-deprived. Either way, i couldn't stop reading and finished it in 2 days.
