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.
