Aliens kidnap Manhattan: read all about it! Manhattan is taken away and placed under a huge clear dome, through which the trapped residents can see dozens of similarly trapped alien cities.
Sort of a cross between James Blish's Cities In Flight and Independence Day, many reviewers consider this Stith's best novel, filled with great characters, compelling action, and hard science.
Manhattan Transfer was a Science Fiction Book Club selection. The book reached the preliminary Nebula Award ballot. It was on the Science Fiction Chronicle Best of Year list. It received a Hugo Award Honorable Mention, and was a Seiun Award nominee (Japan), and a La Tour Eiffel nominee (France).
Manhattan Transfer has long been out of print. Don't miss this book!
"Manhattan Transfer proves once again that John E. Stith is the true successor to Arthur C. Clarke and Hal Clement as the modern master of the hard science novel."
MIKE RESNICK
"How can you possibly resist?... Superscience SF in the classic vein, fast-moving, heroic... loaded with sensawunda. You'll love it."
ANALOG
"Considerable ingenuity... Think of it as a visually spectacular movie... and a really outstanding, imaginative, and professional production staff and special effects crew working to bring off the big set-pieces and guarantee the thrills."
LOCUS
"Manhattan Transfer is filled with interesting ideas and a knockout climax! It is the type of novel that originally got me reading science fiction."
KEVIN J. ANDERSON
