The Quiet Pools
1990 Nebular Nominee "There is a glad tale-telling energy about the book-just as there was about James Tiptree Jr.'s best stories-that carries one on, as though to joy."-Los Angeles Times "A fast-paced adventure that explores man's place in the universe as well as the nature of the human spirit."-Chicago Tribune The city-sized starships taking shape in Earth orbit are humanity's most ambitious endeavor. Each is to carry ten thousand people on the boldest adventure in history. But as the second vessel nears completion, the Project is under siege both by those desperate for a place aboard and those grimly determined that it should never set sail.

The Trigger
A “thought-provoking, suspenseful” political sci-fi thriller from the authors of 2001: A Space Odyssey and Star Wars: The Black Fleet Crisis (Library Journal). In the near future, a team of scientists who intend to create an anti-gravity device inadvertently develop something far more powerful—a mechanism that can render guns and bombs virtually harmless. Their creation, “The Trigger,” causes nitrate-based bombs and explosives to detonate automatically. The idealistic scientists who envision the benevolent use of their great invention soon discover that even protective weaponry comes with its own moral trade-offs. Soon, every faction of the gun industry is involved—politicians, manufacturers, lobbyist, military—and the scientists must fight to keep the weapon out of violent hands. While negotiating this tricky territory, they realize that not even those with the best intentions can be trusted. There are no easy answers in this thriller that “lend[s] the familiar issue of gun control new urgency and excitement” (Publishers Weekly).
