Summary: exciting novel
Comment: I read ring around the sun years ago and as a translation in my native language, Dutch. The story is gripping and with an unexpected twist. Mr. Simak brings you back to the time when he wrote this story: the fifties. The story encompasses many aspects of its time: the luxury items people surround themselves with, the cold war starting, the big brother watching you idea and the latest trends in Science in those days: quantum technology and the believe of some scientists that there is a paralel universe. After I read Michael Crighton's Timeline I noticed the similarities in the topic. Crichton also references a book that goes deep into the topic: The Fabric of Reality by David Deutsch.
Mr. Simak build a good story around these topics and Ring around the sun is a must read for Science Fiction fans.

Summary: A wonderous book that I need to read again.
Comment: I read this Simak offering so many years ago that I honestly can't recall how long it's been. All I know is that I really NEED to read it again. Simak was one of my all-time favorite SF writers. It helped in no small way that he lived and worked in my hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and that his fictional settings were so familiar to me because he wrote of places I could see just down the road. His gentleness, good humor and his graceful way of writing only endeared him to me more. Please, Mr. Publisher, see your way clear to reissuing this grand old piece of fine science fiction!

Summary: A unique thriller with one hell of a twist.
Comment: Once again Clifford D. Simak shows us the depth of his imagination. Drawing you in to a very familiar world, with superbly crafted charters and Simak's cosy style. Then when he has you where he wants, you suddenly, along with his charters, realize that things are not as they seem. Then you get to see why Simak is one of the most unique and imaginative authors ever. He is able to open the limits of human possibility in ways that few others explore. This story is the story of one very ordinary man and his role in events that change the world. This is a common Simak theme. Simak's heroes are heroes in the way that any of us could be heroes in the right circumstances, not supermen. Like many Simak books this will leave you thinking and enriched.
