Four people strive to prevent global chaos: Gary Morgan, a renegade scientist ridiculed for his belief in a space elevator, or pillar to the sky; Eva Morgan, a brilliant scientist long obsessed with building a tower to supply cheap, limitless energy using the power of the sun; Erich Rothenberg, the ancient but revered scientist who labored to create the first rockets; and Franklin Smith, the eccentric Silicon Valley billionaire who will champion their cause, wage war with Congress and government bureaucracy, and most important, finance their Herculean undertaking. This journey to the stars will not be easy - a tumultuous struggle filled with violence and heroism, love and death, spellbinding beauty and heartbreaking betrayal. The stakes could not be higher. Humanity's salvation hands in the balance" --Back cover.   Copy/Holding information No Item Information
