PUBLISHERS NOTE: Sometimes it takes a big book to bring life to a big concept; a much shorter, substantially different version of this novel was published in hardcover in 1982 (paperback from Baen), but that version was rushed to publication before the author was ready. Now, with and addition 50 thousand words - longer than most novels - Robert Forward offers us the novel that 'Flight of the Dragonfly' should have been: ROCHEWORLD!
