	The Trek Nation - Nick Sagan - Part I (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Nick Sagan: It's funny that because I was the "Attached" writer, people thought I was going to push for the J/C or the Paris/Torres, but honestly, neither was an agenda at all (laughs).
		Nick Sagan: I think that's true and I think that "Bloodlines" is also hurt by the fact that it seemed like in the seventh season there were a lot of relatives of characters trotted out.
		Nick Sagan: There was definitely that mindset, especially at the very beginning of the season, with "Timeless" and Harry Kim, which gave him an opportunity to shine.

		Sagan may not be the next Philip K. Dick or William Gibson, but he shows enough talent here to suggest he can improve on pacing in the promised sequel.
		Sagan creates a great air of mystery and suspense, and the answers that eventually emerge set the stage for additional novels.
		Sagan may not be ready for Hugo or Nebula consideration just yet, but his imagination, voice, and vision portend great things to come in the years ahead.

	Nick Sagan \| Interviews \| SCI FI Weekly
		Nick Sagan grew up asking the same questions every curious kid does, questions like "Why is the sky blue?" and "How does gravity work?" In his case, however, his father was actually able to answer them in scientific detail.
		Sagan recently spoke with Science Fiction Weekly about Idlewild, which hit bookstores in August of this year, and the double-edged sword of growing up with such a brilliant and well-respected father.
		All I can do is be the best Nick Sagan I can be, and hopefully inspire and move people through fiction and encourage people to go and do wonderful things.

		Sagan revisits the future world of his well-received debut, 2003's Idlewild.
		Sagan focuses primarily on the younger set, upon whose shoulders the hope of a future rests, telling the story through numerous first-person narrators.
		Sagan's sharp observations and rich imagination entertain, though, and lay a strong groundwork for volume three.

	Celebrating Sagan
		Sagan was so clearly a hero to countless people across the globe, and for those of us who can't help but do a bit of worshiping, Nick's portrait helps ground that awe without diminishing our hero's stature.
		Sagan (pronounced SAY-gun) was probably best known as the host of ''Cosmos,'' a 13-part series on public television in 1980 that explored everything from the world of the atom to the vastness of the universe, and showed him looking awestruck as he contemplated the heavens.
		Sagan was also familiar to television viewers from 26 appearances in the 1970's and 80's on ''The Tonight Show'' with Johnny Carson, who was known to don a fl wig and perform a Sagan impersonation.

		Nick Sagan: The scene where she dies I find is a very moving scene, I'd put it up there with the death scene from "Drone".
		Nick Sagan: No, I think that might have been the easiest one I worked on, because the goal is simply to have fun.
		Nick Sagan: (laughs) Well, neither did I! One of the complaints I have about a lot of novels are the very wordy descriptions, which can be nice, but so often I'm skimming just to get to the point.

	Rambles: Nick Sagan, Idlewild (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Eventually the stories are cleverly merged as the hero works to solve a murder-mystery and uncover much of his past, including the cause of his amnesia.
		Though Sagan's characters aren't as strong as his plot, they are sufficiently well-drawn that you will want to know what happens to them next.
		I must mention that Nick Sagan is the son of astronomer Carl Sagan.

	Idlewild Nick Sagan G
		In the case of Nick Sagan’s first book, Idlewild, the film was The Matrix, and the lineage was his famed father, pop astronomer Carl Sagan.
		While Carl Sagan was never a Loren Eiseley with prose (who is?) he was well ensconsed within the milieu of the science writing renaissance of the 1960s and 1970s, which included such notables as Stephen Jay Gould, Jacob Bronowski, Richard Dawkins, Martin Rees, and Jared Diamond.
		Dick is vastly overrated, at least in his short stories, but Sagan’s mind simply is not that creative, nor is it that detailed to convince the situation is real, even if ultimately holographic.

	Idlewild - Nick Sagan - Review - Forget all your Tomorrows..
		This is, however, merely the first stage of an unfolding story, and Sagan seems to delight in changing the rules just when you think you've got the hang of them.
		My thoughts as I turned the last page of Nick Sagan's debut Idlewild, as I recall, were along the lines of "What an excellent book!" A bit more emphatic, perhaps, but along those lines.
		The European kids are post-humans, like their parents, engineered with immunity to the Black Ep plague, but the Africans are humans as nature intended, which means they have to stuff themselves full of antibiotics every day to stave off the plague they carry.

	Nick Sagan
		Nick Sagan is probably going to always live somewhat in the shadow of his father Carl Sagan no matter what he accomplishes in life.
		Another interesting fact about Nick Sagan, which may or may not be included in one of the above links...As a child, his voice was recorded for the phonograph discs that were attached to the Voyager spacecraft, which feature the sounds of Earth, just in case the spacecraft ever wandered by an extraterrestrial civilization.
		Sagan sure sounds like he writes SF from his own description, but I'm betting that his father's mainstream acceptance as a non-fiction author and out and out celebrity led his publishers to think Nick had potential with general/mainstream audiences.

	Amazon.fr : Everfree: Livres en anglais: Nick Sagan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Though Sagan's latest future thriller is supposed to complete a trilogy that began with Idlewild and Edenborn, it's stuffed with ideas that veer off into fascinating but underdeveloped tangents.
		The genetically altered young Post Humans of Sagan's first books have gone through their bloody personal crises and now have settled down to revive the people who had themselves frozen to escape a deadly universal plague.
		Since the ones who could afford cryogenic sleep were the most "successful," they tend to be insanely competitive, unwilling to be guided by their saviors.

		Today is the Carl Sagan Memorial Blog-a-thon, and even though this is a sad day for me, I'm viewing it as a celebration.
		Sagan, who has dedicated the book to his late father, scientist and author Carl Sagan, has succeeded in creating a unique future, that, in light of the fears concerning bird flu and other communicable diseases, combines just the right amount of fear and wonder.
		It's young Nick's voice saying, "Hello from the children of planet Earth" on a recording that is still traveling in distant space on NASA's Voyager 1.

		Nick Sagan and his wife CJ express an interest in spicy Thai food, so we pay a visit to a place called Spice.
		That issue, in all its nasty possibilities, drives the novel without becoming too much the focus, for Sagan refuses to allow his characters to be reduced to mere glyphs to drive home plot points.
		Nick Sagan folded his napkin and addressed some of the questions his novels raise in a chat for sfsite.com.

	Edenborn by Nick Sagan
		Sagan eschews chapters and presents each section by labelling them with the name of the narrator.
		Sagan examines the importance of religion and spirituality versus the practicality of secularism.
		Sagan's mantelpiece deserves to be heaving with shiny metallic awards and I certainly do not think it would be wrong to mention the word 'Hugo'.

	Bookreporter.com - EDENBORN by Nick Sagan
		Sagan builds on some speculative premises already familiar to science fiction fans of all periods and persuasions: worldwide plague wipes out all but a few dozen humans; super-sophisticated technology allows remaining humans to isolate themselves from infection; technology combined with old-fashioned human vices proves an even greater threat to their survival.
		Sagan provides much information but deliberately few direct answers.
		Yet each member of Sagan's eccentric, winsome, and fatally flawed family is drawn with an eloquent devotion and care that raises EDENBORN far above the usual plague-tale formula.

		What caught my attention even more, was the name of the author, Nick Sagan.
		Well, being that Carl Sagan was one of my personal hero's, I had a good bet that his son would be a great author as well so, I put all my other items back and bought Idlewild instead.
		As it turns out, Nick is indeed an incredible author, and knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat, with a futuristic novel that is full of mystery, intrigue, and most importantly about the human spirit.

	Bookreporter.com - EVERFREE by Nick Sagan
		Those simple, welcoming words connect so powerfully with Sagan's recent emergence from the often thankless role of a Hollywood script and screen writer to become one of the most exciting new voices in science fiction.
		Now armed with medical knowledge to save all but the most advanced plague cases, Sagan's gifted post humans are faced with myriad practical and ethical questions as they struggle to decide who should be revived first.
		Sagan brilliantly treads the thin ice of futuristic ethical comment, daring to propose scenarios that show us at our all-too-human worst, even as we cling to the shreds of social idealism.

		Nick Sagan has overcome his sophomore slump (Edenborn) in crafting a fast-paced conclusion to his trilogy that explores a future world where the only survivors of a plague are the rich and powerful who could afford to have themselves preserved.
		The new world populated by the power-hungry elite is not a pleasant one and the cast of the first two books, is faced with the difficult task of trying to shepherd wolves.
		Building a new society practically from scratch can be a source of an infinite number of different angles; Nick choses his own and keeps the story "human" with day-to-day issues as well as big-picture thinking.
