The second novel in the Science Fiction by Scientists Series...A free-floating world of surprise in three novellas, foretelling the future reality of battle, love, and betrayal on the surface of our closest neighbors, waits within for the adenturous, unafraid to find that space mirrors Earth in the warp of love and weave of war...Murder as a shortcut to romance sets the first tale in motion. The adventure in the second revolves around the unpredictable and a large blimp that the expedition brings along for travel on Mars. The last story is a set-piece for lunar military planners, an exciting technical manual for battle strategists on the moon. These stories in their realism are the future of our space pioneers.
