Synopsis

Nin'thoosa (Ninna) is an ethnic Tellmondonian in the early-22nd century. Tellmondonians are Human descendants of a large group of lunar settlers from the late-20th century of Erth's Moon. Given her moderate political stance and connectedness within Tellmondo's political scene, Ninna is recruited by an agent of the super-conglomerate, international body called the Erth Industrial Alliance-EIA. Gordon, the agent, is Nin'thoosa's handler and convinces her to spy against a group of underworld gangsters that range from a very rich old man who is a representative of the Erth Industrial Alliance to a radical student president of a terroristic, Tellmondonian organization called The Covenant of the Belt. Despite her juggles of espionage between Erth and Mars, Ninna still has to focus her main efforts against a prominent Tellmondonian official: Respect PunJon. The Respect is of a new generation of Tellmondonian nationalism and endeavors to re-establish the city-state of Tellmondo among the Sol system's asteroid belt. But the young Respect does this at the expense of Human lives and economic corruption!Ninna finds herself in a world of cloak and dagger, mixed in with a solar system-wide intrigue that snarls trusted friends and even her heart . . . Asteropia is a different Sci-Fi adventure. It is a mixture of sublime scientific and technological speculation, political intrigue, and street-smart Mafia-style plots.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Joseth Moore is the author of Lunar Legends, The Solar Bridge: The Unintended Consequences of Time Travel, and There's NO Place Like Zone. Joseth earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln in 1993. Joseth's required academic courses in the biological and social sciences, ultimately, helped him form the scientific foundations that he needed to write his Sci-Fi novels and short stories. He produced and exhibited his modern art in Lincoln for about ten years before turning to writing and publishing Science Fiction in the late-1990s. Joseth has been active within the American political Progressive movement, having been a member of organizations such as Nebraskans For Peace (for which he was a delegate in Washington, D.C. in 2002, as he lobbied against the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste proposal), Friends of Wilderness Park, Amnesty International-Lincoln, NAPE-AFSCME (a union for state workers), the Lancaster County Democratic Party (which he was a voting member), the Peace Coalition of Lincoln, Ecology Now! of UNL, the Democratic Socialists of America, JUMETI (an organization for African-American affairs), ONE-Lincoln (the anti-poverty ngo started by Bono of U2) and most recently, the Lincoln Secular Humanists (for which Joseth serves as treasurer; and it was with this group that Joseth had met evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in Lawrence, Ks in 2006). Joseth is the father of two daughters, Felisha Louise Moore and Gracie Mae Moore. Felisha is an animal-lover and plans to go to school for zoology when she is older and currently holds a White Belt in Taekwondo. Gracie is also an animal-lover and, much like her father, is very artistic and does craft projects for hours using gourds, found objects, and even Tupperware items.
