Life on a neutron star (2004)

I love these books (Dragon's Egg and Starquake). Robert Forward isn't great with the human characters, but they're only in a handful of scenes. He really brings the cheela to life, and the speculative physics is outstanding.

Before this, there was Mission of Gravity, by Hal Clement (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Mission_of_Gravity" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Mission_of_Gravity</a>)<p>He even wrote an article about the creation of his high-g planet, featured in Astounding SF in 1953.

Wouldn&#x27;t enormous gravitational pressure on the surface of neutron star essentially make it extremely flat (as in nearly perfect elongated sphere)?
