Colony

More about the book

Hurtling across a vast and rousing canvas, from Baghdad to what remains of New York City... from Messina, the capital of the Earth, to the moon, to Island One, the magnificent colony in space... Ben Bova's extraordinary novel is a brilliant epic of sheer storytelling power that leaves its readers stunned and shaken. Colony is the story of once-proud cities of the Earth made humble by greed and revenge, of Stone Age cultures and advanced civilizations in space, of a cast of full-blooded, unforgettable characters from the remote corners of the globe and beyond... and of David Adams, the first genetically perfect "test-tube" human being, whose very human nature is the final hope of a world in infinite danger!
