Jovian (Trigon Disunity 3) [Mass Market Paperback]

Donald Moffitt (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 31, 2010 | Series: Trigon Disunity 3

An innocent strong Jupitar inhabitant embarks on a major new space adventure Jupiter-born Jarls Anders is enormously strong-moulded, like his fellow Jovians, by the giant planet's crushing gravity, which kills all but the hardiest babies in the womb, and which over the generations has selected for strength and survivability. Like his fellow Jovians, Jarls is a bit of an innocent-an unpolished rustic derisively called "cloudhopper" by the sophisticates of Earth and Venus. The story follows Jarl's adventures on three planets as his illusions are gradually stripped away, and he transforms himself from indentrued workie to a major player in solar politics.

This review is from: Jovian (Hardcover)

Ok this is the first Donlad Moffit book i've read but I was so intrigued by the synopsis in the flap that I had to read it. Turned out to be a great book and one i'll probably reread a few times. It's ind of spaced out and it jumps around a bit but it's a good idea descrided pretty well. I'd recommend it to my sci-fi friends.
