I loved this book because I had it as a child,
but never had a chance to read it.
Only 40+ years later, I came across
the Disney film version and recalled the fact I *had* the novel of this all
those years ago. I went and bought a
copy on eBay and read the book, literally for the first time!
This cat, named
Jake, was stranded on Earth and needed help repairing his ship. It was comical with the cat speaking to various characters through his collar and
mind. I found it quite a unique story, and his interactions with the humans were lightly unnerving, but hilarious in some parts.
A book of this grade is in acceptable shape to read and store. Definitely content are intact. Generally sturdy spine with all pages intact physically. Generally solid cover. Typically have decent shelve wear. Might includes acceptable highlights and notes.
I loved this book
because I had it as a child, and it was never read at
the time.
I only just saw the film version and wanted to read the book. I had no
trouble finding it, and got down to read it.
It is about a detective who, upon hearing
about a murder, gets called out to investigate.
He becomes the next victim and dies. He goes to heaven and, in order to solve his own murder, he returns to
Earth as a dog.
It is refreshing to go
back and read stuff one vaguely remembers, but the details are unclear. I had
remembered something about this as a child, now more clear after seeing the
book and film source
I loved this book because I saw the film many
times. I never read the novelization of it. The book was more detailed than the movie, and it
fascinated me.
It was about a spaceship
from Earth, the Palomino, which was investigating another ship, the Cygnus, that
is too close to a black hole. The crew
from the Palomino comes aboard Cygnus and meets its eccentric captain, Reinhardt,
who has an entire robot army, as well as a tall, red automaton called
Maximillian. The Palomino crew mates
soon learn that Reinhardt has been out in space too long and wants to explore
the black hole.
The largest black hole ever encountered and the fiendish plan of a mad scientist threaten the lives of the explorer ship Palomino, returning to Earth from a mission in deep space
Elias Huer
had grown up to be a fine young man. His twin brother, Silas, had gone to the
Saturn moon of Dracos to continue his education and learn about a new culture.
This was what he enjoyed as a child, to learn about different cultures of
others, especially his own. Meanwhile,
Elias was sent to the dreaded worlds of Anarchia and Arachnia, located beyond
New Chicago.
As he
braved their stormy environments, he met a young lady called Cindihan, with
whom he intended to live in New Chicago. However, Elias had another dream. He wanted to fly out into space, and enjoy
exploring its vastness. That dream was
now about to come true, in this second installment of the Young Dr. Huer series.
