I am looking for the title and/or author of a science fiction book?

I am looking for the title and/or author of a science fiction book. I read this book in the mid-70's when I was in junior high school, so it's quite likely in the "juvenile" SF category. The story is essentially a double-agent spy novel.It revolves around the secret of the "nova bomb" (?) that one star empire's navy uses to keep its member systems and enemies in line and the search for a enemy's top secret agent.

The big plot finish to the book is the agent running the investigation turns out to be the super secret enemy agent who steals the secret of the nova bomb and teleports himself away. I think the essential details are correct. I have googled this every way I can think of with no luck.

I would really like to read this story again. Thanks in advance for any help. Asked by sweisler 29 months ago Similar questions: title author science fiction book Arts > Books > Books - Science Fiction.

N/;2 October 23, 1942 – November 4, 2008) was an American author, producer, director, screenwriter, and medical school graduate, best known for his work in the science fiction, medical fiction, and thriller genres. S books have sold over 150 million copies worldwide, and many have been adapted into films. In 1994, Crichton became the only creative artist ever to have works simultaneously charting at #1 in television, film, and book sales (with ER, Jurassic Park, and Disclosure, respectively).3s literary works were usually based on the action genre and heavily feature technology.

S novels epitomised the techno-thriller genre of literature, often exploring technology and failures of human interaction with it, especially resulting in catastrophes with biotechnology. Many of his future history novels have medical or scientific underpinnings, reflecting his medical training and science background. Among others, he was the author of Jurassic Park, The Andromeda Strain, Congo, Travels, Sphere, Rising Sun, Disclosure, The Lost World, Airframe, Timeline, Prey, State of Fear, Next (the final book published before his death), Pirate Latitudes (published November 24, 2009), and a final unfinished techno-thriller to be released in the fall of 2010.

An Interview With Author Tobias Buckell Tobias Buckell is the author of many short stories, three speculative fiction novels, plus a novel set in the Halo universe. He’s also an avid gamer, and a brand new dad to twin girls. Born in the Caribbean, he strives to include that flavor in his novels.

Q1: What draws you to write science fiction and/or fantasy, hereafter referred to as speculative fiction? TB: The sense of possibility, the open-ended ability to write just about anything you could imagine. Q2: What was the first piece you ever had published?

TB: Besides the high school newspaper? I think it was a short, 750 word piece up on Jackhammer Magazine. It’s the first piece I got a check for ($8.00, the editor rounded up their penny-a-word rate).

I still have a framed photocopy of the check. My first ‘big’ sale in the genre was to Science Fiction Age, where I sold my story ‘The Fish Merchant. ’Q3: What did it feel like?

TB: There was a lot of inarticulate and loud happiness. Q4: What was the defining moment that made you say “Yes I’m a writer”? TB: Seeing my first story in print, in a magazine that people could buy at most stores and was even in grocery stores at the time, made me feel a writer.

Q5: How long have you been writing? What keeps you writing? TB: I’m 30, I started submitting short stories to markets when I was 15.

What keeps me going? I love doing it! Q6: Who are some of your influences?(Authors, Personal Friends, Teachers, etc.)TB: I enjoyed Clarke and Asimov, though Clarke a bit more, to be honest, as an influence.

Later the cyberpunks got me pumped up about SF/F, because they were a bit more blue collar, street-oriented, inclusive, bringing in developing world countries as players on the global scene. That struck a deep chord in me, growing up in the Caribbean and all. Clarke was also way more of a globalist as well, and I think that’s what attracted me to him more than other authors.

2 I'm prettty sure it isn't Haldeman's "The Forever War". It's essentially a sci-fi novel inspired by the Vietnam war. I've read it and it doesn't fit the description given.

However, it is a good book, so I'd recommend reading it anyway :-)For some reason, your description made me think of Harrison's "The Centauri Device" but the plots are too different, so I doubt it's that either. Sorry I couldn't be of much help :-( .

3 I read this one as well. It revolves around the search for the Nova bomb missing from the Nova Cruiser "Canopus". I believe the ship conducting the search is the Achernar a Draco class destroyer.

I read this 35 years ago, so don't hold me to this.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
