Dragon's Egg- Award winner. 5 star reviews. ONCE IN A WHILE, A NOVEL APPEARS THAT HAS EVERYTHING UNIQUE TO SCIENCE FICTION -- A BRILLIANT NEW IDEA HONEST EXTRAPOLATION OF REAL SCIENCE, A GRIPPING STORY WITH FASCINATING ALIEN CHARACTERS, AND THE INDEFINABLE BUT ESSENTIAL SENSE OF WONDER. SUCH A NOVEL IS ROBERT L FORWARD'S STORY OF LIFE ON A NEUTRON STAR...
Along with a sequel, sound like must-reads.

The Companions
"Station Eleven meets Never Let Me Go in this debut novel set in an unsettling near future where the dead can be uploaded to machines and kept in service by the living."
That does sound intriguing.
