Anderson, Kevin J.; Beason, Doug Ill Wind
Tor Books New York 1996 0812550188 / 9780812550184 Mass Market Paperback Very Good Mass Market Paperback
563 pp. Solid and clean; slight curve to spine and few light reading creases. "It's the largest oil spill in history; desperate to avert environmental damage - and a PR disaster - the multinational oil company releases an untested 'designer microbe' to break up the spill. An 'oil eating' microbe, designed to consume anything made of petrocarbons: oil, gasoline, synthetic fabrics and of course, plastic. What the company didn't realize is that their microbe propagates through the air. But when every car in the Bay Area turns up with an empty gas tank, they begin to suspect something is terribly wrong. And when, in just a few days, every piece of plastic in the world has dissolved, it's too late..."

Anderson, Poul Starfarers
Tor Books New York, New York, U.S.A. 1999 0812545990 / 9780812545999 Mass Market Paperback Near Fine Mass Market Paperback
Book is clean and tight; no creasing to spine. Light edge wear and crease to upper front corner. "The saga begins when evidence of an advanced civilization is discovered by SETI astronomers. "Trails" observed in the sky are thought to be from starships traveling at the speed of light, an enigma that spurs scientific minds until this breakthrough is achieved by mankind as well. An expedition is then mounted and an eclectic team of scientists chosen to journey into the sector where the intelligent life is allegedly located. But because the destination of the starship, Envoy, and her crew is 60,000 light-years away, the time required to reach the point of origin of the signals and return is 120,000 years - longer than Homo sapiens has been on Earth. And though the crew is ready to face the ramifications of such a trek, no one is prepared for what awaits them at the outer edge of the cosmos - or back at the planet they once called home."

Anthony, Patricia Cradle of Splendor

Book is clean and tight; boards square. Remainder mark to top of text, else fine. "In the near future, Brazil is on the verge of becoming a legitimate space power. But their first manned launch goes horribly wrong. The boosters sputter, and fail. The world holds its breath, expecting the rocket to plummet to Earth. But it doesn't. It shoots into orbit - with no boosters, seemingly no propulsion at all. Impossible...but the world saw it happen. Now the world wants to know how they did it. If it is a well-planned hoax, it must be exposed. If it is new antigravitational technology, it must be shared. But if it is something more than that, something sinister, or otherworldly...then it must be conquered."

They also begin an extensive and dangerous search for other survivors - for the very future of humankind will ultimately depend on not depleting their very modest gene pool by forever intermarrying amongst themselves."
