Lateral Connection"Scientists are trying to tap the vast gravitational energy released when an ensemble of micro black holes collapses. Henry Barek considers the experiment dangerous. Colonel Li Wutong, a Red Army contracts negotiator, enlists Barek's help to destroy SkyBord, the world's first advertising satellite. He has an ulterior motive. He wants to discredit Arnuth Ord, the owner of the space station hosting SkyBord, and thus pave the way for the purchase of the space station by the Chinese government at a bargain price. Barek also has an ulterior motive. He wants not just to destroy SkyBord but to stop the black hole experiment. Their plans come unstuck when Julie Billinghurst, a beautiful technologist, dies in mysterious circumstances and Cameron Bass is asked to investigate. Barek comes to believe that only help from beyond the stars can stop the experiment and thus save Earth. The novel is a thriller set inside a scientific mystery" -- www.lulu.com. |
