The Sunborn

A worthy successor to The Martian Race. Neatly and with enjoyable imagination combines the discoveries being made on Mars and the new ones being made on Pluto and in the our solar system. Sometimes the characters came across as a little wooden, but still quite an enjoyable read. The conceptual leaps were wonderfully envisioned and carried the book grandly. A real sense of wonder infused the tale and let me feel like I was truly in the far reaches of our solar system, with vivid and poetic descriptions of the alien yet common threads of intelligence and communication.
