The High Frontier

Living and working in space is man's greatest challenge. The men and women serving on board the Manned Orbiting Laboratories and the new Manned Orbital Weapons Station know that they are the leading edge of the most important project humanity has ever undertaken. The conquest of space will guarantee humanity's future.



The danger is that there may not be enough time left. On Earth, one empire is collapsing under its own weight and there are those in its government who believe that utter destruction is preferable to defeat. Will a conspiracy to stop them succeed? Another government is trying to repair the damage done by previous blunders and re-establish relations with the rest of the world. Can they succeed before their enemies use a new and dreadful weapon to stop them?



As the simultaneous crises converge to threaten destruction, a baffling mystery is solved. But the question remains.... Will humanity have time to scale "The High Frontier?"
