Wideangle View of the Ancient World

Incredible
This book and its sister publication Time Gate, though written two decades ago, STILL reads like a revolutionary view of the future. Pellegrino was one of the framers of the US/Soviet Space Cooperation Initiative, advocating and predicting an international space ...
Ghosts of the Titanic

James Cameron
Avon

Unearthing Atlantis: An Archaeological Odyssey
Charles R. Pellegrino,
Arthur Charles Clarke
Vintage
, 1993
Most informative
This book makes me want to catch a plane to Thera and help with the excavation. Lots of history and PLENTY of concrete evidence to turn the hardened cynic into a believer. It's a complete journey through time back to the dinosaurs and more. Like the author stated, the ...
Unearthing Atlantis:: An Archaeological Odyssey to the Fabled Lost Civilization
Charles R. Pellegrino
Avon
, 2001
Beauty, Grace and Destruction
First and foremost: Yes, it did exist. The significance of an ancient Atlantis existing in our past and flourishing to a point that the Minoan civilization is a millennium ahead of it's time is unprecedented. With emphasis on the exaggerations and mythological ...
Time Gate: Hurtling Backward Through History
Charles R. Pellegrino
Tab Books
, 1985
This is the One, the Book that Gave Birth to Jurassic Park
There's a reason this book is auctioned or sold to collectors at a premium (amount), even in bad condition. In it, you will read how life on Earth could have been added to, or helped along, by microbes blasted from the surface of Mars by asteroid impacts billions of ...
Chariots for Apollo: Untold Story Behind the Race to the Moon
Joshua Stoff
, Charles R. Pellegrino
Quill
, 1999
An incredible story well told...
There are countless books chronicling the race to the moon and the triumphs of the Apollo program. Most of them are well worth reading too. Chariots sets itself apart though. Rather than celebrating the astronauts, or even the flight controllers and ground crews, ...
Dust
Charles R. Pellegrino
Avon
, 1999
An entertaining, and frighteningly realistic, ecothriller
[Review written in Mar 2006] I had the privilege of reading a near-final unpublished draft of this back in 1998, and the version that eventually went to print was a bit ... erm ... well, a bit less grim in its apocalyptian grandeur. In any case, this is one of ...
Ghosts of Vesuvius: A New Look at the Last Days of Pompeii, How Towers Fall, and Other Strange Connections
Charles R. Pellegrino
Harper Perennial
, 2005
An engrossing look at Vesuvius (79 AD) ... and 9-11 (2001)
[Review of Hardcover edition] This is a tremendously interesting and engrossing book, on many different levels. "GoV", contrary to what the title might lead one to suspect, is NOT just a book about Mt. Vesuvius - it's a tour de force exploration of the effect of ...
Her Name, Titanic
Charles R. Pellegrino
Avon
, 1990
Taking it Back
Because many of the stories Pellegrino told appeared in no other books, including the British and American Inquiries into the sinking, I and other Titanic Historical Society members bought into the widely-voiced notion that Pellegrino's facts were "all made up." As it ...
Flying to Valhalla
Charles R. Pellegrino
William Morrow
, 1993
One of the best....and most depressing science fiction novels
This is one of the finest science fiction novels out there. And one of the few that actually stands up when it comes to real science. Ultimately, it is also arguably one of the most depressing books ever written when you take everthing to its logical conclusion. ...
Her Name, Titanic: The Real Story of the Sinking and Finding of the Unsinkable Ship
Charles R. Pellegrino
Mcgraw-Hill
, 1988
A most interesting book
Mr. Pellegrino has written an excellent book about that tragic ship and about the background of the men who found her. A must have for any serious TITANIC "buff". It is also a great companion book to Dr. Ballards "Dicovery of the TITANIC" as it offers insights not ...

George Zebrowski
Pocket Books
, 1999
ST-TNG: Dyson Sphere
Star Trek-The Next Generation: Dyson Sphere written by Charles Pellegrino and George Zebrowski is a good adveture story but has a few leaps in logic. When I read this story about a Dyson Sphere... for those of you who don't know what a Dyson Sphere is it's a Ringworld, ...
