	Marooned in Realtime (John's Book Pages) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Marooned in Realtime is the more interesting sequel to The Peace War; it deals with the handful of people who were inside bobbles when virtually the entire human race mysteriously disappeared sometime during the 24th century.
		Their attempt to reestablish civilization is jeopardized when a leader is "murdered" by being left behind while everybody else continues forward in time in bobbles; the identity of the murderer is the central mystery of the book.
		Marooned in Realtime is very good science fiction -- Vinge's extrapolation and use of the bobble technology are great.

		Marooned in Realtime is a loose sequel to The Peace War - it can be read independently.
		In Marooned, humanity has, for the most part, moved on, ascended, dispersed - none of the leftovers are quite sure.
		A fascinating concept - she is the victim of a murder attempt, and the murder method is making her live out her natural life marooned in realtime.

	culture data repository \| Marooned in Realtime by Vernor Vinge
		Marooned in Realtime is a vast leap forward from The Peace War in terms of writing style, plotline and proficiency, which consequently means that it's pretty damned good.
		Seeing as Marooned in Realtime takes place after 2250, obviously some people were left behind or otherwise there wouldn't have been much of a story.
		Marooned is a piece of true, Vinge-style space opera with just a few simple fundamental ideas that he extrapolates into incredible scenarios and universes.

		MAROONED IN REALTIME Vernor Vinge Baen 1987 PB 313pgs ISBN
		Futuristic "whodunit" in which the remnants of mankind "bobble" (enter into protective bubbles in which time stand stills while ages may past outside) about in an attempt to gather any straggling bobblers from times past, and then attempt to organize in a final attempt at reestablishing civilization.
		Short of the old mystery standard of gathering all the suspects together at the end for the grand finale - something the author allows his cop character to realize and feel amused by - this story is a winner.

		The second novel, Marooned in Realtime, is set millions of years later.
		Marooned in Realtime is easily the better of the two stories, and The Peace War is really more like an explanation of its background than something similar to it in stature.
		Both, however, are of interest; Marooned in Realtime is one of the best pieces of eighties science fiction.

	Lost Books Guest Reviews - Marooned in Real Time - Review by Marian Powell
		Vernor Vinge in Marooned in Realtime coins a term "The Singularity" to suggest that the changes in technology are going to be so great that at some point humanity will change.
		Marooned in Realtime pours out ideas with incredible generosity all the while zipping along for 300 pages with a fast moving story.
		This book is technically a sequel to an earlier novel titled "The Peace War." I have not read it and had no trouble enjoying Marooned in Realtime without having read the earlier work.

	Biography of Vernor Vinge @ SciFi-Fantasy-Info.com
		Vernor Vinge came to prominence in 1981 with his novella True Names, which is one of the earliest stories to present a fully fleshed-out concept of cyberspace, which would later be central to stories by William Gibson, Neal Stephenson and others (and particularly to the cyberpunk genre).
		His next two novels, The Peace War (1984) and Marooned in Realtime (1986), concern the impact of a technology which can create impenetrable force fields called "Bobbles".
		The Peace War shows a world in which the singularity has been postponed by the Bobbles, while Marooned in Realtime follows a small group of people who have managed to miss the singularity which otherwise encompassed Earth.

		You know by now that this book comprises the novel "Peace War", the short story "The Ungoverned" and the novel "Marooned in Realtime." The first two stories are interesting, but probably not something that I would rush out to recommend to friends.
		Vinge clearly shows his skills in writing stories with a "sense of awe and wonder" that he later showcases in his "A Fire Upon the Deep" and "A Deepness in the Sky" novels.
		I was surpirsed by this since I was hoping that "Marooned" could stand alone by itself without too much backreferencing.

	Kathy’s Getaways » Marooned in Realtime
		“Marooned” isn’t quite the right word, but that title from an obscure SF work by Vernor Vinge sticks in my mind.
		We were going to take a big trip up to Marlborough Sounds and do a 4 day tramp (hike) at the start of the week.
		That’s why I didn’t want to leave town—because I had started to build a solid groove of day to day actions that were building towards my longer term plans and yet were sustainable and pleasurable on the realtime level.

	Opinionated Junk - 50bookchallenge #16/50: Marooned in Realtime, Vernor Vinge
		The rise of very large and relatively intelligent spiders several megayears into Earth's future and the bleak prospects for sustained civilization on Earth after much of the population goes exploring gives rise to suspicions about the nature of the planet circling the On/Off star in Deepness.
		Vinge's characters in Marooned were richer and more nuanced than those in Peace War.
		While the idea of superimposing a murder-mystery over a "hard" sci-fi background may seem a bit hackneyed, Vinge addresses the irony of the situation the characters have encountered and brings up some vital questions about the nature and necessity of government.

		And in A Fire Upon the Deep and other tales he employs the device of "Zones of Thought" in which technology and sentience reach higher levels of development the further you move from the center of the galaxy.
