Journalist Gregory MacAllister launches a campaign to end the prestigious Space Academy's deep space program in favor of a last-ditch attempt to rescue Earth from global warming. In response, the academy sends the Starship Salvator to explore the "moonriders," strange lights seen in nearby planetary systems. MacAllister joins the expedition and helps discover that the moonriders are far more deadly than first thought. The author of Chindi and other novels featuring the academy succeeds in visualizing a believable future of space exploration as well as believable personalities whose lives and loves put a human face on scientific speculation. Expert storytelling and a thorough grounding in hard science strongly recommend this to most libraries. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
