The environmentally-themed science fiction classic that's "grand- scale storytelling (Library Journal)." The year is 2073. Earth's climate is faltering and her ecosystems are breaking down. Her burgeoning populations now rely on food and energy supplies imported from colony worlds. A routine exploratory mission to the planet Fiix finds a world at war with itself, continuously devastated by unpredictable weather patterns. When storms and flooding ruin the Terran base camp and destroy their power and communication links, the explorers must discover what's causing the weather's behavior, not just for the sake of science, but to ensure the expedition's success and survival.Jackie Cassada - Library JournalOriginally published in 1986, in two volumes, this updated and reworked tale of an Earth in ecological shambles and a resource colony on the planet Fiix in meteorological upheaval provides a powerful and complex cautionary tale as timely as it is entertaining. Grand-scale storytelling with personal immediacy; a good choice for most sf collections.
