Lightpaths by Howard V. Hendrix Pdf

Roger Cortland came to the Orbital Complex to continue his life's work in virtual reality, Marissa Correa to observe this Utopian society up close, and Jhana Meniskos to student the "Orbital Park," the station's biodiversity preserve. But no utopia is safe--from corruption, from sabotage, from corporate greed. And when this "perfect" world begins to unravel, all three will have to fight to protect their work--and their lives! Writer Michael Bishop says: "An exhilarating intellectual tour of both an amazing orbital habitat and a dizzying complex of ideas."
