Colonists from the entire solar system converge on the mother planet for the 2276 celebrations.Among the influx of humanity is Duncan Makenzie, scientist-administrator from the underground colony of Titan, one of the outer moons of Saturn. Makenzie is not just on Earth for the celebrations, though; he has a delicate mission to perform - for his world, his family and himself . . .
Les mer
As the solar system gathers to celebrate its colonisation, Duncan Makenzie is the only hope for his planet's future
Crammed with fascinating gimmicks; polyominoes, asymptotic drives, joy machines, gold reefs, very long radio waves, free fall sex and much else. Each novelty is utterly plausible, as if its introductions into our lives were absolutely inevitable. The administering of these minute fixes of cultural shock is an essential part of SF, and no one does it better than Arthur C. Clarke - Times Literary SupplementA polished gem . . . a winner - Daily Mirror
