TRANSCENDENCE

Charles Sheffield, who was himself a scientist, wrote smart, hard science fiction adventure stories. TRANSCENDENCE is exactly that--smart, hard science fiction adventure. This is a story that both awes and excites as a group of beings (human and alien) travels in search of a hostile race called the Zardalu. The characters in the book encountered these aliens earlier in this series, titled The Heritage Universe. (This book is Volume 3.) Geoffrey Howard’s English accent is a nice match for the material. He does his best work when he's performing comic relief through one of the novel's characters. S.D. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 03]
