"Bridging the gap between fantasy and reality in fiction is difficult, especially when the subject is high-tech space exploration. However, the more accurately one portrays the present reality, the more credible is the forecast of the future - and the more fascinating and informative readers will find the story. That was the principle we followed with 'Encounter With Tiber.' This saga has been growing in my mind for over twenty years" (Buzz Aldrin).
