I have always deeply admired Carl Sagan. He is to a great extent responsible for my interest in cosmology and science in general.
I remember watching his Cosmos TV series with a feeling of wonder. I treasure an old edition of Cosmos (the book) I bought some 30 years ago and am waiting for my children to be old enough to read it. I was really sad when he died. |

Ah!! Carl Sagan; With his easy way of describing the wonders of the Universe. I often wonder how many people took a sudden interest in all things 'out there' after watching Cosmos. His memory will linger for a long time. Cheers. |

I believe it may have been his only novel-length fiction. Highly regarded.
