Tired of weapons and explosions? How about some stories that move the
plot along in other ways...
James P. Hogan, _Inherit the Stars_ (1977). There is historical
violence, but none in the contemporary plot line, which is just the
the thrill of scientific discovery: A dead astronaut is discovered
on the moon. The body is 50,000 years old. WTF?
The sequels face diminishing returns, but this is possibly the most
suspenseful novel I've ever read. Very much recommended.
