		Encounter with Tiber by Buzz Akdrin and John Barnes (Olson)
		Encounter with Tiber is excellent and one of the best SF books of its year.
		Encounter with Tiber begins just a couple of years in our future where a bit of luck revitalizes the manned space program with a move to nearly off-the-shelf technology which is much more robust and much less expensive than Shuttles.

	Encounter With Tiber (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		ENCOUNTER WITH TIBER reads like a well-written history (no doubt Aldrin's influence; he has written three non-fiction books about his part in the Apollo program), and, despite the fact that there are lots of details and (in the human parts) acronyms, the story never slows down or seems cluttered.
		This was especially true in terms of their history, which includes a Christopher Columbus figure who brings the two hemispheres of Tiber together, resulting in the conquest of one by the other.
		ENCOUNTER WITH TIBER has hard science, politics, sex, and disasters, and, as such, it's incredibly readable.

	Review - Encounter with Tiber by John Barnes and Buzz Aldrin
		A new space race is sparked by a bitter feud between scientist-astronaut Chris Terence and visionary entrepreneur Sig Jarlsbourg: two enemies determined to claim the frontier blazed by the Apollo pioneers.
		Solving the Tiberian mystery becomes a legacy, driving Chris's son and Jarlsbourg's heir, Jason Terence, to found the first city on Mars, and leading their descendants beyond the confines of the solar system.
		ENCOUNTER WITH TIBER is the saga of another family as well.

	Buzz Aldrin & John Barnes: The Return (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The Return is a worthy successor to Aldrin and Barnes's first collaboration, Encounter with Tiber.
		The strongest portions of Encounter with Tiber dealt with mankind's future in space, while the novel was weaker when dealing with the aliens Aldrin and Barnes created.
		Buzz Aldrin has now proven that the story told in Encounter with Tiber was not a fluke and that he has what it takes to tell an engaging space-age tale.

		Buzz's Encounter with Science Fiction: Encounter with Tiber
		Without reading one page of Encounter with Tiber, you know that this book will sell a lot of copies simply on the basis of the first author's name.
		However, if you're looking for a well-paced novel with an intriguing plot and interesting characters, Encounter with Tiber will sadly disappoint.

	Christian Sauvé's Book Reviews, July-December 1996
		Firestar and Encounter with Tiber are two of these recent works: Five-hundred-plus pages novels containing the plans for a new and exhilarating age in human history...
		Encounter with Tiber hinges in part on a rich space enthusiast who eventually builds a private space program by selling space tours to richer people...
		And what's more, this book is even longer than Encounter with Tiber, both subjectively and objectively (573 pages vs 560, and Firestar has a smaller font!) The first part takes place in 1999 and mostly deals with a group of students struggling in a high school recently bought by the heroine.

		I have now read Encounter with Tiber, all 560 pages of it.
		But to read this vision of our future in space, by someone who walked where only Neil Armstrong had gone before and who has dedicated his life to keeping our eyes turned towards the stars, is a worthwhile and inspiring endeavor.

		Also its flight-time seems to be based on non-relativistic calculations - these aren't major errors, but odd considering Buzz's meticulous details on other technical matters.
		At almost 600 pages, it takes a reader at least a couple of days to trudge through the story, especially the early highly technical parts of the story.
		This ambitious novel weaves five narratives together to tell the epic story of mankind's encounter with the alien Tiberians.

	Encounter With Tiber
		It also has an excellent philosophical perspective on space exploration and expansionism that properly portrays the sort of civilization that humankind could likely encounter.
		There is so much realistic technical and socioeconomic detail in this work that even if the rest had been mediocre it would still have been involving.
		My strongest recommendation to the reader is that this book is reminiscent of A.C. Clarke.
