Hoyle Fred & Geoffrey
Fifth Planet
<p>Fifth Planet by Fred & Geoffrey Hoyle</p><p>A Fawcett Gold Medal Book - Fawcett Publications Inc. Greenwich CT - copyright 1963</p><p>#T2243</p><p>Paperback</p><p>4 1/4 x 7 inches 192 pages</p><p>Fifth Planet is a science fiction novel written by astrophysicist Sir Fred Hoyle and his son Geoffrey Hoyle.</p><p>Another star is due to pass close to the sun close enough for conventional spacecraft to reach it. The first planets observed are four gas giants but then an inner 'Fifth Planet' is found. Signs of chlorophyll are detected suggesting that it supports life. Rival Soviet and US expeditions are launched to visit it. The world balance as it existed in 1963 is assumed to be still in place.</p><p>One important aspect of the plot is that the Soviet expedition includes the first woman in space. This fictional milestone was eclipsed by reality soon after publication when Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman in space on Vostok 6 in June 1963.</p><p>-------------------------------</p><p>Synopsis</p><p>A planetary system consisting of a star and five planets is travelling through our galaxy and will pass close to Earth. The four largest planets are gaseous but the fifth named Achilles appears capable of supporting life. Two rival expeditions - one Anglo-American and one Russian - set out to land on Achilles and explore its mysteries. But almost from the moment of their arrival things begin to go terribly wrong . and when they return to Earth something not human will be coming back with them. One of the most exciting novels by world-renowned scientist Sir Fred Hoyle 1915-2001 and Geoffrey Hoyle "Fifth Planet" 1963 is a thrilling science fiction tale that ranks alongside Hoyle's masterpiece "The Black Cloud." 'An exciting book for all science fiction enthusiasts . will leave the reader wondering about our future life on earth.' - "Evening Journal" 'Fred Hoyle a celebrated astronomer is a man of vast imagination . the story is sharp clear and full of suspense.' - "Washington D.C. Evening Star" 'A mature performance . the best so far from the Hoyle stable.' - "Sunday Times"</p><p>------------------------</p><p>Sir Fred Hoyle FRS 24 June 1915 – 20 August 2001 was an English astronomer noted primarily for the theory of stellar nucleosynthesis but also for his often controversial stances on other scientific matters—in particular his rejection of the "Big Bang" theory a term coined by him on BBC radio and his promotion of panspermia as the origin of life on Earth. While Hoyle is well-regarded for his works on nucleosynthesis and science popularisation his career is also noted for the controversial positions he held on a wide range of scientific issues often in direct opposition to the prevailing theories supported by the majority of the scientific community. He spent most of his working life at the Institute of Astronomy at Cambridge and served as its director for six years. He was a writer of science fiction and co-authored twelve books with his son Geoffrey Hoyle.</p><p>-----------------------------</p><p>Geoffrey Hoyle born 1942 is an English science fiction writer best known for the works which he co-wrote with his father the astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle. About half of Fred Hoyle's science fiction works were co-written with his son.</p><p>He was educated at Bryanston School in Dorset and then entered Cambridge where he read Economics. After 1964 Hoyle worked in London in the field of modern communications and the film/television industry. Unlike his father he is not a scientist and contributed to the more "human" side of their novels – however he did work as a "scientific advisor" to some series such as Timeslip.</p><p>In 2010 his book 2010: Living in the Future was popularised by a blog which compared Hoyle's 38-year-old predictions with the reality of modern life. This led to a Facebook campaign to track down Hoyle and talk to him about his visions.</p> Fawcett Publications, Inc. paperback

SYNOPSIS: "There is one thing quite certain in this business: the idea of time as a steady progression from past to future is wrong." Once you accept that you can accommodate the thought that in 1966 the First World War is still being waged. You can see it's possible to meet the ancient Greeks. With Fred Hoyle pushing behind you you can climb centuries in the future. For that's the way of Mr Hoyle's world where a man can be young and old at the same time. Where in Britain it's 1966 in America it's 1750 in France it's 1917. Where a man given the time of his life must settle at last for life in his time. First Edition 2nd Printing.
