"Human scientists strive to establish a relationship with an intelligent alien race known as the cheela, but their efforts are complicated by the fact that one Earth hour is equal to hundred of years on Dragon's Egg, the neutron star where the cheela live."
"Human scientists establish a relationship with intelligent lifeforms--the cheela--living on Dragon's Egg, a neutron star where one Earth hour is equivalent to hundreds of their years. The cheela culturally evolve from savagery to the discovery of science, and for a brief time, men are their diligent teachers."
""Forward's book is a knockout. In science fiction there is only a handful of books that stretch the mind--and this is one of them"--Arthur C. Clarke From the Paperback edition."
"Malgré le titre, il s'agit ici de véritable science-fiction écrite par un physicien réputé. Ce roman (1980) traite d'un sujet analogue à celui de ##Question de poids## d'Hal Clement."
"Was, wenn wir nicht allein sind? Im Jahr 500.000 vor Christus entstand in den Weiten unserer Galaxis ein Neutronenstern. Im Jahr 2050 bricht ein Expeditionsteam auf, um diesen Neutronenstern, genannt das Drachenei, zu erforschen, und macht eine unglaubliche Entdeckung: Auf dem Drachenei, dem vermutlich unwirtlichsten Ort im ganzen Universum, existiert Leben! Doch für die Cheela, die Bewohner des Dracheneis, vergeht die Zeit unendlich viel schneller als für die Menschen und so wird das Expeditionsteam Zeuge, wie eine fremdartige Spezies die Entwicklung von der Steinzeit bis zur Hochtechnologie durchläuft - und das alles an einem Tag!"
