Verdant Skies by Steve Jordan

Steven Lyle Jordan · 08-09-2009, 07:47 PM

The four giant satellites in Earth orbit were considered oases for humanity, the first of the habitats humans would move to and escape the growing environmental pressures and hazards of living on the ground.

But when a volcanic eruption threatens to finally ruin Earth's already-collapsing ecosystem, the remaining peoples of Earth demand access to the satellites, and threaten to overwhelm them, thereby dooming all of humanity.

And as the satellites are under siege from below, a desperate gamble for the survival of the satellite Verdant is taken...

The setting may be in the future and high up in Earth orbit, but the elements are taken right out of today's headlines. The characters are also like you and me, trying to preserve their homes and lives. But an unexpected new twist on actual quantum physics theories opens up possibilities that you can't imagine. Verdant Skies is a wonderful look at the future of living in Earth orbit, as well as a warning about the fragility both of our planet, and of the best laid plans...

Steve's book is only $3.50, DRM-free, and available in a host of formats to suit one's specific Reader fetish!

That's a nice-looking page, with very clear instructions. (There's no cluttering BS, as in some other webpages.)

Just downloaded! It is next on my reading list after I finish Gregory Benford's The Martian Race.

You have been busy Steve! And that is great news for us!

It is my honor to serve!

I just downloaded this too, and hope I have the time to actually read it soon.

I have stacks of pbooks in my to-read stack by the bed and have started collecting ebooks for to-read list. At least with ebooks I save a lot of space.

Sounds like an intersting book. But I'll finish the currents one before

Just purchased it and one more: I think I now have all of Steve's books.

Counting down the hours until I can go home and read it!

Just downloaded it in the speculative package. Absolute bargain. Next up on my reader.
