2002 Year End Staff Picks

Cachalot, Alan Dean Foster
Recommended by Angie

Foster is quite famous for his "Alien" novels which were the template for the movies with the same name - but his other novels are wonderful, too. My all time favourite is "Cachalot" which I had read at first, when I was 14. I still read it about every three years again. The story about a 25th century ocean planet, which is the new home of extra-terrestrial whale giants with a manlike intelligence still takes me away! It's the best gift for every Sci-Fi Fan who is also a lover of the ocean life!

Where the Evil Dwells and Enchanted Pilgrimage, Clifford D. Simak
Recommended by Angie

Clifford D. Simak (1902-1976) is one of the representatives of the golden age of Science Fiction writing - and even so a bit forgotten in the readers memory. What I exceptionally love about the two recommended titles is the visionary mixture of science fiction elements like robots or parallel dimensions and the medieval accessoires of classic fantasy such as knights, dragons and goblins.
