Clarke\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e In a moving story of sacrifice and triumph, human scientists establish a relationship with intelligent lifeforms—the cheela—living on Dragon’s Egg, a neutron star where one Earth hour is equivalent to hundreds of their years. The cheela culturally evolve from savagery to the discovery of science, and for a brief time, men are their diligent teachers.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Praise for Dragon’s Egg\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Bob Forward writes in the tradition of Hal Clement’s Mission of Gravity and carries it a giant step (how else?) forward.”—Isaac Asimov \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Dragon’s Egg is superb.
