In science fiction there is only a handful of books that stretch the mind--and this is one of them.--Arthur C. Clarke In a moving story of sacrifice and triumph, human scientists establish a relationship with intelligent lifeforms--the cheela--living on Dragons Egg, a neutron star where one Earth hour is equivalent to hundreds of their years. The cheela culturally evolve from savagery to the discovery of science, and for a brief time, men are their diligent teachers.Praise for Dragons EggBob Forward writes in the tradition of Hal Clements Mission of Gravity and carries it a giant step (how else?) forward.--Isaac Asimov Dragons Egg is superb. I couldnt have written it it required too much real physics.--Larry Niven This is one for the real science-fiction fan.--Frank HerbertRobert L. Forward tells a good story and asks a profound question. If we run into a race of creatures who live a hundred years while we live an hour, what can they say to us or we to them?--Freeman J. DysonForward has impeccable scientific credentials, and . . . big, original, speculative ideas.--The Washington Post
