Spacewreck: Ghostships and Derelicts Of Space By Stewart Cowley is the excellent follow up book to Spacecraft: 2000-2099, and while the first book is full of great spaceship descriptions and accompanying illustrations, Spacewreck offers more gripping tales revolving around spaceship derelicts found drifting through space,resting on some unexplored planet or being of completely unknown origin.The text and illustrations are lavish and haunting, and this is an engaging read as a standalone book, a...more
One of those books you pick up on a whim as a pre-teen and which haunts you until mid-adulthood. I recently *had* to buy another copy of this. Some sense-of-wonder-provoking images in here, tied together with some poignant storylines.
An interseting book written like some sort of historical document or archaeological notes. It reads like a who's who of space derelicts, like a modern day book on sunken sailing ships. Its not really a story in the classical sense, but its an interesting glimpse of how authors of the 70's viewed our future voyages into space and the sort of things we might encounter. It could also be helpful for those looking for inspiration for sci-fi role playing material.
Very entertaining read. Mostly geared towards younger readers, but it would be a fertile source of ideas for a futuristic space role-playing game.
Another of Cowley's clever incorporations of various science fiction artwork into a storyline.
