Description
Buzz Aldrin Signed Book: Encounter with Tiber. (New York: Warner Books, 1996). Written with John Barnes. First edition, first printing. Signed on the title page in blue ink: "Buzz Aldrin". "Buzz Aldrin and John Barnes have created a riveting epic of space and time" (Neil Armstrong). Hardbound in a dust jacket, octavo, 560 pages, illustrated. Very fine.The novel is a transgenerational adventure that weaves together multiple narratives, including the discovery of evidence of an intelligent alien species who visited the Earth long ago and left advanced information storage devices known as Encyclopedias. The story is told from the point of view of a human historian on a star ship on the way to Alpha Centauri, and it is set in various time periods, including the 21st and 22nd centuries, as well as 9000 years ago when the alien species visited the Solar System. The novel is known for its detailed descriptions of space exploration and scientific phenomena, as well as its exploration of civilizations and comparisons between the Tiberians and humans. Buzz Aldrin's contribution to the novel is evident in its detailed portrayal of the politics and hardware involved in man's conquest of space.
