Inherit the Stars [图书] 豆瓣
The man on the moon was dead. They called him Charlie. He had big eyes, abundant body hair and fairly long nostrils. His skeletal body was found clad in a bright red spacesuit, hidden in a rocky grave. They didn't know who he was, how he got there, or what had killed him. All they knew was that his corpse was 50,000 years old; and that meant that this man had somehow lived long before he ever could have existed!
"Pure science fiction... Arthur Clarke move over!" - Isaac Asimov
"'Hard science' fiction with a lovely vengeance, but done so well that almost no scientific background is needed to understand and enjoy it... Highly recommended." - Analog Science Fact & Fiction
"Intellectual action portrayed as excitingly as any space war-a truly absorbing read, and a reminder that learning is one of the greatest human adventures." - Publishers Weekly

HOTLINE FROM TOMORROW
When Murdoch was summoned to his grandfather's isolated Scottish castle; he had no idea of the old man's latest discovery--nor where it would lead him. Sir Charles, a genius in far-out physics, had found a flaw in the law of conservation of energy; in any process an incredibly tiny increment of energy escaped--back through time! Using this "tau" radiation, he could send messages into the past.
But Murdoch discovered records of messages he knew he had never sent! Were many futures possible? Could a message from Future X alter the past--and thus wipe out Future X? But who would be foolish enough to send a message that could eliminate his own existence?
Then disaster struck. An advanced fusion reactor threatened to destroy all Earth. Grimly, Murdoch sat down to send back the words that would destroy everything he had learned to love.

Human society on Jevlen was falling apart -- and it looked as if JEVEX, the immense super-computer that managed all Jevlenese affairs, was at the heart of the matter. Except that the problems didn't stop when JEVEX was shut down. People were changing -- or being changed. It was almost as if the Jevlenese were being possessed...
Meanwhile, in a very different universe, where magic worked and nothing physical was predictable, holy men caught glimpses of another place, a place where the shape of objects remained unchanged by motion, and cause led directly and logically to effect. And the best part was that when the heart was pure, the mind was focused, and circumstances were right, some lucky souls could actually make the transition to that other universe. If only they all could...
