Why read it?
1 author picked Godspeed as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love Charles Sheffield’s good, hard science fiction. An astronomer and mathematician, Charles Sheffield, could craft plotlines supported by hard science like few others.
I'm drawn to his competent, realistic characters and the way his narratives create drama reminiscent of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2002.
From Darrell's list on science fiction books for grown-ups.
