		The Rats are known by very few listeners, and they most likely know about them because Mick Ronson was a member before playing on David Bowie's highly influential early-1970s albums.
		By 1969, onetime Rats drummer John Cambridge was in Junior's Eyes, which briefly became David Bowie's backup band.
		A competent but undistinguished lot, the Rats are primarily worth investigating by British '60s rock completists and Bowie historians who want to hear Ronson's roots in particular.

	Genus Aethomys or rock rats
		The Rock Rats is a particularly depressing and pessimistic picture of the future of mankind in space.
		All that said, The Rock Rats is definitely worth reading, especially if one enjoyed the terrific descent into the hell in Bova’s Venus, or reveled in Bova’s other works in the same universe, like Mars or Jupiter.
		The closest relatives to Laotian rock rats are a group of rodents that includes porcupines and guinea pigs, but this relationship is a rather distant one.

	Yosemite's new breed of 'rock rats'
		He is part of a tight-knit community of "rock rats" whose counterculture lifestyle goes back more than 70 years.
		But their vagabond tradition amid the beauty and danger of this fabled valley is quickly disappearing as an explosion of rock and sport climbing has brought an overflow of people to one of the world's premier climbing spots.
		He forged pitons from the axles of Model A Fords, and he and Anton "Ax" Nelson used the new equipment to climb the southwest face of Half Dome in 1946 and the 1,200-foot chimney to the spire known as the Lost Arrow in 1947.

		The rats survive on seeds and fruits of rainforest plants at night and rest in rocky caves and crevices during the day.
		The species was only discovered in 1986 and since that time scientists from the NT Parks and Wildlife Commission have been working with the landholder of Wollogorang Station to find out more about the species and how to look after it.
		A radio-tracking study found that most of the rock-rat activity was concentrated on the valley floor and the boulder piles and rock walls of the slopes, with fewer movements of rats on to the surrounding plateau.

		The 31-year-old unemployed computer engineer, who has spent much of the summer dirt-bagging it with other rock climbers in Yosemite National Park, has scaled every rock, crag, crack and dome he could find in and around the park.
		There has been rock climbing in Yosemite almost since the valley was discovered by white people in 1851.
		Rock climbing in Yosemite came of age between 1954 and 1975, when the indomitable Warren Harding and purist Royal Robbins ruled the roost.

	Radio Rats - Into The Night We Slide
		I cannot think of any performers or groups to compare the Radio Rats to, so I'm left with the conclusion that in rock this is original stuff.
		This is fun and original and rollicking rock that doesn't lend itself to analogy.
		Stand-out tunes for me: "ZX Dan", "Plague Cafe", "I'm In Love", "Rocking", "Mucking About In the Dungeon All Day", "Rocket Road" and "Padded Rooms"-- though I don't know why I mention these songs separately because I usually just put on the disc and let the music play through from the first track to the last.

	Ben Bova: The Rock Rats
		Despite the setting in the Asteroid Belt and on the Moon, The Rock Rats, book two of Ben Bova's "Asteroid Wars" series is, in fact, a western set in space.
		The Rock Rats falls immediately after the end of The Precipice and several years before Venus, which features the eventual end of the Humphries-Fuchs rivalry.
		The Rock Rats does not appear to be the final volume of the "Asteroid Wars" sequence, but given what Bova has demonstrated of Fuchs, Humphries and others in the first two novels and Venus, there is no indication that the third volume will be any more uplifting than The Rock Rats.

	Review of THE ROCK RATS by Ben Bova
		THE ROCK RATS continues author Ben Bova's (see other BooksForABuck.com reviews of novels by this author) near future saga with a number of recurring characters.
		Bova's science--from asteroid hunting to nanotechnology to global warming to using the gravity of an asteroid to conserve fuel--seems sound and provides an intriguing backdrop to the story.
		Amanda spends much of THE ROCK RATS whining about wanting to return to Earth--apparently unconcerned that she and Lars provide the only competitive supply source for the thousands of explorers and miners who are their friends--and the hope of humanity's survival.

		The only hope to ease the plight of Earth lies in exploiting the resources of the Asteroid Belt, the logistics of which need the finances and high technology of private industry.
		In THE ROCK RATS, Bova follows the mining of the Asteroid Belt by independent prospectors called “rock rats.” The chief protagonists of the last book, Martin Humphries and Lars Fuchs, are still battling to see who will control of the vast amount of mineral wealth in the belt.
		While Lars Fuchs champions the cause of the independent rock rats, Humphries, a fabulously wealthy industrialist, tries to crush all opposition to his company, HSS.

	RPGnet: Review of The Rock Rats (Printable Version)
		The Asteroid Belt is setup as the stage of a conflict between rival companies wishing for control of the resources there.
		Rock Rats ends in with some threads unresolved, I assume that we’ll see some of the threads continued in other novels (like the Selene issue raised in Bova’s Moonbase Wars continued in Venus and Precipice).
		I felt let down by the turn of events and the brevity of the story arc, like Bova wasn’t trying to make this a as stirring continuation of the Asteroid Wars, just a volume filled with some neat descriptions and solid action—a precursor to a third, more satisfying novel.
