Gale Research

Washington Post Book World reviewer George R. R. Martin comments that Benford "makes research fully as intense and gripping as the events of any thriller, without compromising a whit, and manages the extremely difficult feat of conveying not only the meaning of his speculations in physics and cosmology, but the excitement as well....[Timescape] is not only splendid science fiction, it is a thoroughly splendid novel."
