Description
IT ALL HAPPENED SO FAST One minute the two space Hab astronauts were scoop-diving the atmosphere, the next they'd been shot down over the North Dakota Glacier and were the object of a massive manhunt by the United States government. That government, dedicated to saving the environment from the evils of technology, had been voted into power because everybody knew that the Green House Effect had to be controlled, whatever the cost. But who would have thought that the cost of ending pollution would include not only total government control of day-to-day life, but the onset of a new Ice Age Stranded in the anti-technological heartland of America, paralyzed by Earth's gravity, the "Angels" had no way back to the Space Habs, the last bastions of high technology and intellectual freedom on or over the Earth. But help was on its way, help from the most unlikely sources ....Join # 1 national bestsellers Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle and Michael Flynn in a world where civilization is on the ropes, and the environmentalists have created their own worst nightmare: A world of Fallen Angels At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
Reviews
Someone proofread this e-book!
3By Stilyagi1959Numerous punctuation errors make reading this book difficult. Example: ““He hadn't known the space dwellers had, any friends on Earth; let alone strange ones.” Yikes!Enjoyed this book a lot
5By rilo57It's a heretical look at environmental movement. Very refreshing for someone to be looking outside the box, and challenging conventional wisdom.Environmentalists beware!
4By NorsecompassA great read for fans of SF. It's a fun incorporation of modern tech, the politics surrounding science, and everything it means to be a fan of Sci-Fi.
