In the near future, science has progressed to accomplish so many things that people once believed to be possible but lacked the tools to turn into reality. So many of those technological leaps forward are the result of the brilliance of one man: Norn deSpace. A terrorist plot to destroy a clean power plant known as Fusion Island that provides energy for the world is narrowly foiled by Norn’s clever plans and the actions of his skilled friends. When an asteroid known as 2050HA approaches Earth, Norn is part of the team that determines it contains valuable ore deposits and must extract the minerals in secret. These and other missions at the edge of possibility make up the day-to-day life of Norn and his companions in this look at life just decades away.
The technology and scientific theory contained in this book set some lofty goals for immediate human advancement. However, the facts that serve as the foundation for each idea are grounded in reality and current progress. Readers will see obvious parallels to modern-day living, distorted and characterized by what thirty years of advancement could provide. The characters created by the author form a tight-knit group of peers that respect and trust each other, providing a human element that even the most science-fiction-averse reader can appreciate and enjoy. The rapid development of adventure and conflict keeps the chapters moving one after another. Audiences should find themselves delighted by the storytelling and made curious by the scientific undercurrent that runs through the length of this story.
