More about the book

"Mission of Gravity," Hal Clement's first novel, instantly rocketed him to a top position in the field of hardcore science fiction. He had created life-forms and extraterrestrial conditions so realistically that humans could not only understand them, but shared in the tense and terrifying experiences of his alien heroes.<br />Now, Captain Barlennan, that indomitable and taciturn Mesklinite, is back, along with a host of other believable and wholly sympathetic characters, caught by the titanic forces of the planet Dhrawn.
