I'm looking for something new to read. Really liked "Communion" by Whitley Streiber and "Contact" by Carl Sagan.

Can anyone recommend something similar to these?

Encounter With Tiber by Buzz Aldrin & John Barnes. Very good read and goes into quite a bit of detail on the engineering required for long range space missions from someone who actually knows his stuff.

Bought it today on Amazon! Looking forward to a good read.

I really want to read Encounter with Tiber now, but if its a genuine Buzz Aldrin signature then I'm not daring to damage it.

Just trying to find out how to get the signature verified.

Read the Area 51 series by Bob Mayer.

Quite liked it.

Last year I bought a copy of 'encounter with the Tiber' by buzz aldrin on ebay, after someone recommended it.

Paid about 60p for it.

It's been signed by Buzz Aldrin! I'm scared to read it incase I damage it!
