Sinopsis
This book is based on the true-life space solar power project that involves deploying immense satellites in earth orbit to convert sunlight in space-where it's very plentiful-into high-intensity microwaves that will be beamed down to earth for conversion into electricity. The dangers of this concentrated microwave beam have been assessed by the US EPA, and they conclude it is capable of cooking all biological matter, including passengers aboard aircraft flying through the beam, as well as interfering with all terrestrial communications, including cell phones, radio and TV broadcasts.
Reseñas
El Feb 17 2009, DanMcBrough dijo:
I read Sunstroke by David Kagan and said to myself "Wow!" Extremely engaging premise, taking into account the book is based on a real-life tech project to supply Earth with cheap energy from the Sun via high-intensity microwaves from a huge satellite. Exactly like the U.S. Pentagon, Japan and other nations are developing for their own purposes this year in '09. In Sunstroke, this satellite is sabotaged in space by the oil cartel, causing it to go crazy and start frying lots of people on the ground, and begin melting what's left of the Arctic ice cap. The lead scientist who designed it has to try to find some way to stop this thing before it brings about Armageddon. I'm not going to spoil the ending, but this novel is right up to speed on what's going on today.
Also, I heard David Kagan numerous times as a guest on Art Bell's worldwide radio program "Coast-to-Coast AM", talking about the ramifications of space solar power via microwaves. Sunstroke is one of those books that would make a sensational movie.

Sobre biblioboy
We are biblioboybiblioboy dealers in Books, Stamps, Ephemera, Victorian Trade cards, Magazines, Postcards, Sheet Music, Engravings, and much more. I started out as a book collector and soon progressed to owning a book store with over 80,000 books and more than 10,000 pieces of ephemera, postcards, and other items. I exhibited my stock for years at book and paper shows around the eastern United States. As the book and paper business has changed over the years, I have changed the way I do business to evolve with the times. I now offer my items for sale on the web only, through my various listing services and web sites. Being a a collector, as well as a dealer, I understand the importance of condition, as well as rarity of an item, and the desire to own scarce and one of a kind items.
