The Quiet War
Paul McAuley
Looking for some space poera iwth a solid sf basis from a award winning author?
Paul McAuley's Quiet War is a novel about a future war.
Earth has barely survived the climate cauased isasters of the 21st century.
Dominated by Greater Brazilia a war of propaganda sabotage and espionage is about to move from a "quiet" war to open conflict between Earth and the colonists of the moons and lanetoids of Jupiter Saturn and beyond.
We see this conflict form the viewpoints of a "gene wizard" working for a Brazilian general, an ecological biome engineer forced to defect to the other side, a macho jock pilot, and a "innocent" clone indoctrinated to become a spy.
Welcome to a futre like and unlike ours where human change causes conflict.
