Title: A sci-fi novel written by one of the few who have been there
Review: When I heard about this novel, I was curious. I usually do not buy best-selling hardcover novels, (not until they are in the clearance bin). Most top of the line hardcovers are just over-priced, and would sell even more if they were $10-$15. But, I digress.I had the opportunity to meet Buzz and have him sign the book when I bought it (yes, I did have to wait a bit till he came to town, but it was worth it.) Buzz is your atypical celebrity. Maybe because he is comfortable with his past achievements. Knowing sci-fi well, I was prepared for Encounter to be another Michner's Space, I was plesantly surprised that it was not.Encounter is an engaging story of the not too distant future of space exploration. It is not as flashy or gadet ridden as other novels but does give you situations where you KNOW the descriptions are genuine because Buzz has been there, done that.Pick it up, and if you ever run into Buzz, ask him what Freemasonry is.
