5.0 out of 5 stars Visually spectacular transport of the imagination!, September 25, 2004

This is a stunningly beautiful and mind-expanding foray into speculation about life on other worlds, packaged as a remarkable artifact. Imagine having your friends drop by and notice this interesting book on your table, that turns out to be a coffee-table book from the future! An absolute treat!

The Galactic Geographic series originally ran in Heavy Metal magazine years ago, and is currently running there again. It was created by my favorite off-world artist, Karl Kofoed, who paints images of alien worlds so dynamic and tactile that you can only assume they were painted on location!

Don't pass this one up!

This book seems to me to be one of the most imaginative and beautiful works of science fiction published in the last decade. A must for anyone's collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Future Is Now, May 30, 2003

By A Customer

The sheer momentum of the author's imagination and consummate skill in delivering the visual evidence was a big surprise. This book is a must-have for those whose vision of the future soars beyond the predictable Trekoidal Sword and Sandal stereotypes. Kofoed mixes wild fantasy into a look at what might be reality in the next Millennia or two.

Great fun for adults and for kids!
