Beyond Star Trek: Physics from Alien Invasions to the End of Time

Summary: A solid follow-up to the very popular "Physics of Star Trek"
Review: Written with the layperson in mind, Dr. Krauss's follow-up to his enormously popular "The Physics of Star Trek" helps explain the science in science-fiction. The author uses simple analogies to give perspective to what we see on television and the movies. While this book is an easy read for someone without a PhD in astrophysics, it contains more "hard science" and has a less lighthearted tone than the first book. Nevertheless, I recommend it highly.
