Five SFF Stories With a Refreshing Lack of Violence
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.

A brauva debut, and unfortunately, his best novel.

_Thrice Upon a Time_ is right up there,
... and, I think, also features a non-violent plot.
