NewLibrary78 | Jul 22, 2023 |   Pero lo más duro de su trabajo no está en la construcción en sÃ, sino luego. Porque, cuando la estación está terminada, es cuando surgen los problemas: aburrimiento, nostalgia y sobre todo los dolorosos recuerdos de la vida que dejaron allá abajo, en la Tierra. Eso, a los grandes jefes militares que presiden la operación, no les importa. Creen que tienen a sus hombres de ahà arriba completamente controlados. Creen que no representan ningún problema. Pero están equivocados… Con Descomposición Orbital, Allen Steele se sitúa en primera lÃnea de los actuales escritores de ciencia ficción hard, con una obra a veces divertida, a veces dramática, pero siempre apasionante, un auténtico homenaje a los hombres que, con todas sus miserias y debilidades, han sido, son y serán héroes. Natt90 | Nov 4, 2022 | Basically, it's a circa 1990 story about just how boring life as a glorified construction worker in space could be. Basically, if you're into hard science fiction that doesn't glamorize space and all that involves, this could be your book. On the other hand, I'd personally recommend the Coyote Trilogy over this. That's really about all I have to say about Orbital Decay. So it goes.

HTML:Winner of the Locus Award: Space-station workers discover a shocking global surveillance plot in this novel from "the master of science-fiction intrigue" (The Washington Post). Popeye Hooker knows that space isn't all it's cracked up to be. A former fisherman who takes a job building low orbital stations to escape a failed relationship, he finds that in space, construction work is still a grind. And when they aren't building the space stations that will usher humanity into the stars, Sam Sloane and the rest of the beamjacks get high, blast the Grateful Dead, and stare through telescopes at the world they left behind. But life in orbit is about to get much more interesting. Nestled among the life support equipment that keeps them alive and the entertainment systems that keep them happy, the beamjacks find something astonishing. Turns out, their home isn't just a space stationâ??it's a giant antenna designed to spy on every inhabitant of Earth. It's the greatest privacy invasion ever perpetrated, and the beamjacks won't stand for it. They may not be pioneers, but these roughnecks are about to become revolutionaries. Timelyâ??and with Orwellian undertones, Allen Steele's debut won the Locus Award for Best First Novel. Perfect for fans of Robert Heinlein, Robert J. Sawyer, and Greg Bear, Orbital Decay blends fantasy and science fiction with a prescient attention paid to the dangers of government surveillance. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Lo spazio e' grande, ma Allen Steele spazia un po' troppo nel raccontare nulla.
Forse un giorno troveranno degli ometti verdi, chissa'...
Lasciate che vi dica che cos'e' "la piu' grande delle scoperte". La sto guardando adesso, alta, al di sopra dell'orlo del crepaccio. E' lo spettacolo del sorgere della Terra, cosi' come lo videro Borman, Lovell e Anders per la prima volta alla vigilia di Natale del 1968, quando l'Apollo 8 sbuco' dal lato opposto della Luna. (363)
