December 1999: The U.S. and Soviet Union lunar cities co-exist peacefully. Too bad the Earth isn't as well-adjusted. The two countries are on the brink of total annihilation before either country can complete their ABM satellite network (operated remotely by three space stations each). World population: 8 billion. US population: 300 million Food and resources are scarce, riots common (mostly past) and everything is polluted. Gripping. |
As gripping as it might have been, I'd totally forgotten about this novel until I found my notes. I couldn't tell you anything more than is written above. So maybe I should change my mini-review to "gripping, but not memorable".
