Humanoids, insectoids, reptilians, and more are included. Field notes explain movement, diet, respiration, and reproduction habits. The book also features a pull-out chart showing comparative sizes, and a section devoted to Barlowe's own sketchbook of works in progress. Selection of the Science Fiction Book Club. 267,000 copies in print. |

Peter (USA: MI) (2006/10/07):
Beautiful, accurate artistic portrayals of various extraterrestrial creatures found between the pages of many famous sci-fi novels, including "Dune Messiah," "A Wrinkle in Time," "The White Mountains," "At the Mountains of Madness," "Childhood's End," "Ringworld," as well as many more. Fifty creatures are represented in all, as well as a sketchbook section in the back. A great companion reference for any fan of science fiction.
