Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What Readers say: 'I felt like I was there!''Absolutely fabulous second section of the Exit Earth series. Even better than the first book, which I loved.'>'In this continuation of the 'Exit Earth series', the author, Terry Persun, once again shows his gift of being able to take us into the story in such a skillful way that we feel we are living it, not reading it! '>Challenged with a crumbling infrastructure, poorly trained subcontractors, and uninformed management, the Flannery family must salvage enough skill and knowledge to rebuild the Pallas Shell World without causing harm to its millions of inhabitants or its delicate ecosystem The former management team for the Pallas Shell World has already evacuated the world, leaving only a recently promoted underling in charge. As the Flannery family drama continues, they leave their oldest son and structural engineer onboard the Starlight and won't see him for over a year. Forced to hire a new, inexperienced graduate, the Flannery family find themselves in the midst of a dangerous and life-threatening reconstruction project. The Shell World is old, poorly maintained, and struggling to stay viable before there is a catastrophic failure. 'Insightful and well-written.''The characters continue to draw me in, and the tension is constant. Excellent writing.''Everything about this sequel was better than I expected.'.…

He has fallen for a young doctor aboard the Starlight, yet his family still needs his help to survive. His plan all along was to be reunited with his family. Now, he must decide what his true responsibilities are, beyond his day-to-day needs. Is it selfish to think only of himself, honorable to follow his love interest, or loyal to go back with his family In the meantime, the family's new hire, Owen, discovers that the Shell World gravity must be slowed, which, if done improperly, will cause chain reactions that would result in irreparable damages in other areas. Ultimately, the project must succeed even through the multiple hazards that are occurring. And Jacob must answer the most important question of his life-what does he want 'The combination of great plot and sympathetic and well-developed characters made this an excellent read.''Persun presents the technical aspects of these future environments skillfully allowing even the less-then-tech-savvy reader to understand the challenges and risks.''It's a real pleasure to find an author who makes the reader care deeply about what happens to his characters, especially in a sci-fi novel.
