| | Encounter with Tiber by Buzz Akdrin and John Barnes (Olson) |
 | | Encounter with Tiber is excellent and one of the best SF books of its year. | | | I stayed away from Encounter with Tiber for close to two years because I doubted that a celebrity author could mean a good book even with John Barnes co-authoring it. | | | See also my other reviews of John Barnes's books: The Duke of Uranium, Mother of Storms, Finity, Encounter with Tiber, Candle, The Sky So Big and Black, A Princess of the Aerie |

| | Encounter With Tiber |
| | ENCOUNTER WITH TIBER reads like a well-written history (no doubt Aldrin's influence; he has written three non-fiction books about his part in the Apollo program), and, despite the fact that there are lots of details and (in the human parts) acronyms, the story never slows down or seems cluttered. | | | Warner Books ought to send, if not a copy of TIBER to every member of the U.S. Congress, at least this first section. | | | If this were another sort of book, these would be interesting parallels, giving us a different way of looking at our own past. |

| | Meeting Buzz Aldrin |
| | Buzz Aldrin was making an appearance at the Barnes and Noble superstore at 23rd and 6th, to promote his novel, Encounter with Tiber, which he co-wrote with science-fiction author John Barnes. | | | But to read this vision of our future in space, by someone who walked where only Neil Armstrong had gone before and who has dedicated his life to keeping our eyes turned towards the stars, is a worthwhile and inspiring endeavor. | | | Catching a Buzz: Encounter at Barnes and Noble |

| | Buzz Aldrin & John Barnes: The Return |
| | Buzz Aldrin has now proven that the story told in Encounter with Tiber was not a fluke and that he has what it takes to tell an engaging space-age tale. | | | The Return is worth picking up because it is an enjoyable novel, not just because of the history of one of its authors. | | | The strongest portions of Encounter with Tiber dealt with mankind's future in space, while the novel was weaker when dealing with the aliens Aldrin and Barnes created. |

| | Without reading one page of Encounter with Tiber, you know that this book will sell a lot of copies simply on the basis of the first author's name. | | | What sort of drama can Buzz Aldrin, who can call upon decades of technical expertise and experience, weave along with science fiction author John Barnes? | | | However, if you're looking for a well-paced novel with an intriguing plot and interesting characters, Encounter with Tiber will sadly disappoint. |

| | Christian Sauvé's Book Reviews, July-December 1996 |
| | But Encounter with Tiber is a far, far richer tale than this brief synopsis might suggest. | | | I was especially disappointed by the fact that this book has John Barnes as the co-author. | | | Firestar and Encounter with Tiber are two of these recent works: Five-hundred-plus pages novels containing the plans for a new and exhilarating age in human history... |

| | Aldrin's Many Talents |
| | Instead of just describing both real and fiction spacecraft, for example, the book contains numerous diagrams, a sign that the authors wanted to make sure the reader could get as clear a picture as possible of the technology presented in the novel. | | | Aldrin also had considerable help when writing Encounter With Tiber, which was published in 1996, from acclaimed science fiction writer John Barnes. | | | But then, Buzz Aldrin had quite a few dramatic experiences to draw on when writing his first fiction novel, which tells the story of humanity's 10,000 year quest to explore the stars. |
