Summary: I found a copy of "The Brass Dragon"
Review: I remembered bits and pieces of the book from reading it years ago, but did not remember the name. I was sooooo excited to find it in a used bookstore and be able to read it again. The book begins with the main character having amnesia. You really feel what he is going through trying to find out what has happened. I loved finding things out along with the character. The mystery unfolds in a chilling and exciting way. This book is one that is really hard to put down, even when you've read it before. I hope others can find it so they can enjoy it as much as I did.

Summary: An excellent introduction to science fiction.
Review: This was the first sci. fi. book I ever read.(1977). I read it 20 times in a row. It has fantastic characters and an excellent storyline. It combines elements of sci. fi. adventure, horror, thriller, romance and drama. From the first paragraph, it captivates the reader. There are no 'slow' spots. Great for ages 10 and over. Adults will enjoy this book as much as younger readers. Not a long story. It's a shame there is no sequel. Do yourself a favour- read this book. Your life will never be the same again! P.S My sister wrote this, not me.

Summary: Enjoyable but dated
Review: Yes, I realize that this book was written before we learned much about Mars. Ignorance I can forgive, and speculation can be a wonderful thing (especially in science fiction). But MZB's arrogance and contempt for expert scientific opinion detracted from an otherwise engaging and entertaining tale. Still, it's an excellent example of sf from that era.
