What are some good science fiction?
Little Mis
I need a science fiction book for a book report do you know any good 100 or 150 page ones??? Please help!
Answer
The under 150 pages is a problem with most Sci-Fi / Fantasy novels written in recent years, as they all seem to be around 350 - 500 pages.
If you look back to to Sci-Fi from the 50's, 60's, and 70's you are more likely to find a shorter novel in the 150 - 300 page range you asked about.
In SCIENCE FICTION, here are some I would recommend:
"The Planet Savers" (1958 / 91 pages) by Marion Zimmer Bradley
(the first book of the "Darkover" series)
It was first published in 1962, along with "The Planet Savers" (164 pages).
"Dorsai" (1959 / 159 pages) by Gordon R. Dickson
(the first book of âThe Childe Cycleâ)
Deals with genetic drift and specialization, and there effects on humanity as a whole.
Nominated for the Hugo award.
"Jandar of Callisto" (1972) by Lin Carter
(first book of the "Callisto" series)
"A Princess of Mars" (1912) by Edgar Rice Burroughs
(of Tarzan Fame)
(the first book of the "Barsoom" Series)

(Retro Hugo Award, 1951)
"Ender's Game" (1985 / 226 pages) by Orson Scott Card
"Speaker for the Dead" (1986 / 382 pages - the sequel to "Ender's Game") by Orson Scott Card
(Both won the Hugo and Nebula Awards.)
"The Forever War" (1974 / 236 pages) by Joe Haldeman
Deals with the effect of time dilation, on those involved in an interstellar war.
(Won the Hugo and Nebula Awards.)
"Starman Jones" (1953 / 252 pages) by Robert A. Heinlein
"Foundation" (1951 / 255 pages) by Issac Asimov

"Starship Troopers" (1959 / 263 pages) by Robert A. Heinlein
(won the Hugo Award 1960)
"I, Robotâ (1950 / 272 pages) the book of early short stories by Issac Asimov on the subject of ROBOTS in which he postulates the "Three Laws of Robotics".

These books are the source from which the movie "I, Robot" is drawn.
"Sten" (1982 / 279 pages) by Chris Bunch and Allen Cole

Its even better if you are POLISH as the main character is as well!
This was an eye opening look at how technology could transform a society, and gave some very good descriptions of simple improvements that lead to our own industrial revolution.
I guess you can tell I loved these books.
