Reseña del libro "Saving Proxima (en Inglés)"

A MESSAGE FROM SPACE LEADS TO A DESPERATE RACE AGAINST TIME AND ACROSS SPACE TO OUR NEAREST STELLAR NEIGHBOR IN A NEW HARD SCIENCE FICTION THRILLER FROM TRAVIS S. TAYLOR AND LES JOHNSON 2072. At the lunar farside radio observatory, an old-school radio broadcast is detected, similar to those broadcast on Earth in the 1940s, but in an unknown language, coming from an impossible source--Proxima Centauri. While the nations of Earth debate making first contact, they learn that the Proximans are facing an extinction-level disaster, forcing a decision: will Earth send a ship on a multiyear trip to render aid? Interstellar travel is not easy, and by traveling at the speeds required to arrive before disaster strikes at Proxima, humans will learn firsthand the time-dilating effects of Einstein's Special Relativity and be forced to ponder ultimate questions: What does it mean to be human? What will it take to share the stars with another form of life? What if I return younger than my own children? The answers are far from academic, for they may determine the fate of not one, but two, civilizations. About Travis S. Taylor: ". . . explodes with inventive action."--Publishers Weekly on Travis S. Taylor's The Quantum Connection "[Warp Speed] reads like Doc Smith writing Robert Ludlum . . . You won't want to put it down."--John Ringo About Stellaris: People of the Stars, coedited by Les Johnson: ". . . a thought-provoking look at a selection of real-world challenges and speculative fiction solutions. . . . Readers will enjoy this collection that is as educational as it is entertaining."--Booklist "This was an enjoyable collection of science fiction dealing with colonizing the stars. In the collection were several gems and the overall quality was high."--Tangent About Mission to Methone by Les Johnson: "The spirit of Arthur C. Clarke and his contemporaries is alive and well in Johnson's old-fashioned first-contact novel, set in 2068. . . . includes plenty of realistic detail and puts fun new spins on familiar alien concepts. . . . There's a great deal here for fans of early hard SF."--Publishers Weekly "With equal parts science fiction and international intrigue. . . . an exciting, fast-paced read that you will not want to put down."--Booklist About Rescue Mode by Ben Bova and Les Johnson: ". . . a suspenseful and compelling narrative of the first human spaceflight to Mars."--Booklist
