Science+Fiction


 * "Science fiction, sometimes called SF (meaning Speculative Fiction), is a genre of fiction dealing principally with the impact of actual or imagined science on society or individuals or having a scientific factor as an essential orienting component. This is a form of writing that is concerned with a world removed in some fundamental way from our own, whether in time, attitude or knowledge. ** **Science Fiction genre novels are literature about the future, telling stories of the marvels we hope to see, or for our descendants to see tomorrow, in the next century, or in the limitless duration of time. It doesn't just have to be about science, though. It has been described quite suitably as: "A controlled way to think and dream about the future."" (findmeanauthor.com)**

// **Timelock** // ** by David Klass (located @ KLA in the East High Library Fiction Collection) In //Timelock//, the third and final novel in the //Caretaker Trilogy// , Jack Danielson is called back to the conflict with the Dark Army for the final battle. Jack must make a decision that will determine the fate of Earth and life as we know it.

I would recommend this book because it is an excellent story about the effects humans have on the environment and what could happen if we as people continue to abuse the Earth. HD (4-6-10) **

The only way today someone could see a dinosaur would be to go to a museum where it would be just the bones or to watch a documentary program that shows a computer generated image of what man thinks a dinosaur looked like. But what if you could go to a zoo and not see the animals of today, but creatures that lived on earth million of years ago? How much would you pay to see living dinosaurs?
 * // Jurassic //** **// Park //** by Michael Crichton (located @ CRI in the East High Library Fiction Collection)

Well in the science fiction book, __Jurassic Park__ that is what happened. At a special animal preserve on an island off the coast of Costa Rica, scientists discover a way to bring back ancient animals. With a unique scientific discovery, the unbelievable happens. Through bio-technology and special breeding techniques, along with perimeter safety systems, dinosaurs live in a realistic man-made environment.

I really enjoyed this book and would give it four stars. Even though I had already seen the movie, I thought the book was better and had a lot more details. JW (12-7-08)
