En el verano de 1993, millones de gentes observan el cielo con incredulidad, ayudados por los recientemente inventados lentes Amplite, mientras el planeta Thornton se acerca peligrosamente a la Tierra. Diseñados para ver en la oscuridad, los lentes Amplite iluminan un misterioso mundo fantasmagórico de materia antineutrínica, que coexiste con la Tierra en otra dimensión. A Wreath of Stars is plain, honest, old fashioned, one-big-idea SF, with a nice cast of characters with some depth to them, and a surprisingly light touch with the use of language both scientific and literary. Bob Shaw does a great job of conveying the events as they happen, but lacks something in the telling that gives the grand scope of an author like Arthur C Clarke. It's still an exciting story, though, and the ending is particularly satisfying. Un romanzo basato su una idea davvero eccentrica: un mondo antineutrinico all'interno della terra, la cui orbita viene deviata dal passaggio di una cometa antineutrinica, visibile solo grazie ai magniluct, un nuovo paio di occhiali inventato nel futuro che amplia notevolmente la luce. Gilbert Snook ha sempre visto se stesso come un equivalente umano di un neutrino che viaggia attraverso la vita. Alcuni anni dopo Snook si ritrova in una piccola e corrotta Repubblica Africana, mentre insegna la lingua inglese ai minatori di diamanti. Li ascolta numerose storie di fantasmi intravisti dai minatori. Scritto con la solita visionaria bravura da Bob Shaw. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Ironically, for Gilbert Snook - who considered himself the human equivalent of a neutrino, a particle able to travel through the Earth without disturbing any other particle - it all started with the panic that followed the sighting of the anti-neutrino planet as it approached Earth. Earth was unaffected but Snook ended up in a small African Republic teaching English to diamond miners. Then the miners started seeing ghosts and Snook found himself at the centre of a bizarre and far-reaching scientific discovery - and in the middle of some very dirty political infighting.
