Book Description

November 1, 1990
Lifeline by Kevin J. Anderson and Doug Beason.
In shock and grief the last remnants of the human race watches from space as the holocaust of war rages across the face of the Earth. Now the future rests in the hands of three fragile space colonies:
Aguinaldo—The Philippine L-5 colony whose brilliant biochemist engineered a limitless supply of food.
Kibalchich—The Soviet space exploration platform that harbors a deadly secret.
Orbitech 1—The American space factory whose superstrong weavewire could be a lifeline to link the colonies—or a cutting-edge weapon of destruction.

As allies, they could unite to rebuild a better world. As enemies, they could destroy mankind’s last hope for survival.

Despite the fact that some of its history has turned out to be wrong, this is a good novel of an impossible situation and is thrilling in its exexcution.
