Description
The sequel to Red Thunder is "a cosmic coming-of-age novel . . . [with] enthralling everyday heroics" from a Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author (Paul Di Filippo, SciFi.com).It doesn't matter that Ray Garcia-Strickland's father was one of the first men on Mars. The now overdeveloped planet has lost its hip factor, its luxurious hotels--like the one Ray's father manages--overrun with gravity-dependent tourists from Earth. Ray is over the Red Planet.
Soon he gets his own chance at interplanetary adventure, when an unknown object hits Earth and causes a massive tsunami. Ray heads back to Florida to help family and friends who've survived the devastation--and soon learns the so-called natural disaster could have unnatural consequences . . .
"The book Robert A. Heinlein would have written if he lived in George Bush's America." --Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing
"A highly satisfying sequel to Red Thunder . . . Much more than a simple adventure story, full of poignant moments and relevant social commentary." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"Drawing unabashedly on current events from 9/11 to Hurricane Katrina, the author mixes space opera-esque adventure and merriment with uncensored images of disaster areas and teenage sex. At his Heinlein-channeling best, Varley preaches the gospel of individual responsibility with all the fervor of a space-age libertarian revival preacher." --Publishers Weekly
"John Varley blends past fiction, current events and future tech to create a story all his own, but with classic roots in at least a half dozen of Heinlein's juveniles." --SF Site
