Humans by Robert J Sawyer
In the Hugo Award-winning Hominids, Neanderthal quantum physicist Ponter Boddit fell through an interdimensional portal into our version of reality. In this Hugo-nominated sequel, Ponter -- a character you'll never forget -- returns to our world and his growing relationship with geneticist Mary Vaughan, exploring our society with his penetrating, alien gaze. Sawyer takes on guns, religious assumptions, automobiles, and even the Big Bang in this highly entertaining tale of a (more or less) rational Outsider. The chapter at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial should be required reading for anyone who wishes to sit in the Oval Office. -- Jack McDevitt on Humans The most unusual love story you've ever read. -- Rocky Mountain News on Humans The biggest job of science fiction is to portray the Other. To help us imagine the strange and see the familiar in eerie new ways. Nobody explores this territory more boldly than Robert J. Sawyer. -- David Brin on Humans Hominids is anthropological fiction at its best. -- W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear, USA Today bestselling authors of People of the Thunder Hominids belongs on the same shelf as Robert A. Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land. -- Starlog| SKU | Unavailable |
