Lifeline(With: Doug Beason)

Lifeline by Kevin J. Anderson and Doug Beason. In shock and grief the last remnants of the human race watches from space as the holocaust of war rages across the face of the Earth. Now the future rests in the hands of three fragile space colonies: Aguinaldoâ The Philippine L-5 colony whose brilliant biochemist engineered a limitless supply of food. Kibalchichâ The Soviet space exploration platform that harbors a deadly secret. Orbitech 1â The American space factory whose superstrong weavewire could be a lifeline to link the coloniesâ or a cutting-edge weapon of destruction. As allies, they could unite to rebuild a better world. As enemies, they could destroy mankindâ s last hope for survival.
