	Locus Online: Sheffield Appreciation
		Charles and I often shared hotels rooms at conventions, and the time spent with him was often the most entertaining part of the weekend.
		Charles would take that as a point of departure and just keep going, weaving in Kipling, the Goon Show, orbital mechanics, politics, the struggles of remodeling his house, the latest NASA boondoggle, and whatever else came into his remarkable mind.
		On another occasion, Charles and I somehow got roped into being the tame science fiction writers sitting in on a conference on the future of education, conducted by a pack of well-intentioned bureaucrats who had long since lost sight of the forest for the trees.

		Sheffield wrote the very hardest SF (as appropriate for a Ph.D. in physics), but he usually managed to tell a good story as well - something that most of the other physicists who have written SF haven't managed to do.
		Sheffield quite explicitly states that it works because of quantum entanglement, a perfectly respectable theory which was discussed in Scientific American's special edition last year on cosmology and cosmogony.
		Sheffield weaves together three or four simulatneous plotlines to present a cohesive and thrilling story of the potential end of the universe.

	Amazon.com: Borderlands of Science: Books: Charles Sheffield (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Sheffield is hard on the Big Bang without good justification (although I grant this could be a good area for story fodder), and gives a rather questionable amount of space to some very discredited alternatives.
		Sheffield delves into the origins of life, subnuclear and quantum physics, possible mechanisms for space travel, physical descriptions of the solar system, superconductivity, viruses and prions, and a lot more including a whole section on "scientific heresies".
		Sheffield warns the reader that by the time they read it, the book will be out of date, that science is changing so fast that no one can know which parts of the book will be out of date when, until it happens.

		I got to know Charles Sheffield when I was living in the Washington, DC area, and he and Roger MacBride Allen and I used to get together for lunch.
		Charles may seem normal-a British space scientist with American daughters, who knows a great deal of poetry by heart and writes surrealist hard sf novels-but behind that ordinary seeming exterior lurks a truly unusual man. Actually I do not know exactly how unusual Charles is because he is British and it's hard to tell.
		Charles is one of the best currently working this game, extending its limits and testing the possibilities.

	Book Reviews: Door Number Three, Tomorrow and Tomorrow, Excession
		Beyond the obvious themes of eternal love and immortality, Sheffield explores the meaning of identity through several devices, including cloning, the electronic storage of the mind and, eventually, the merging of multiple minds into composites.
		Despite the fact that Drake's story is legendary in the various futures, in his own mind he's not doing anything heroic, only what he has to do in order to fulfill his own emotional needs.
		For instance, Sheffield barely touches upon the implications of his world of the 26th century, where work done entirely by machines is considered to be without cost.

	Charles Sheffield's 'Starfire' Has More Sputter Than Spark
		The changes let familiar characters take on new roles, but it also means Sheffield has to spend a lot of time bringing us up to date.
		Using a technique that was already irritating in the days of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sheffield allows the detectives to figure out who the killer is in a moment of inspiration halfway through the book, but fails to provide adequate clues to let the reader follow along.
		Sheffield's discussions of particle physics and space engineering are fun to read, but the secrets of Alpha Centauri's explosion are so contrived that it's impossible to make any connection to them.

	Aftermath--Charles Sheffield
		A little over a month after the supernova becomes visible in the night sky, a huge release of radiation from the dying stars makes a direct impact on Earth's atmosphere, resulting in a worldwide electromagnetic pulse that destroys every piece of electronic equipment on the planet.
		Sheffield's near-future world--distant enough to be far more dependent on electronics than we are today, but close enough to have retained an underlayer of older technology on which recovery can be built--is convincing, and replete with interesting details (actually, I would have liked to see more of this).
		There's a bit of a grab-bag feeling to the book, however, as if Sheffield had had a number of interesting but unrelated ideas rattling around in his head, and decided to concoct a scenario in which he could explore all of them.
