I finished the book I was reading yesterday, and picked a new one from my to-read shelf:


Colony, by Ben Bova, first published 1979. "It is the year A.D. 2008; world population has steadily grown above 7-billion."

I'm gonna have so much fun with this. Choice quote from the first page:
Grasping her wrist firmly, he helped pull her up along the climbing path. "It gets easier up ahead. The gravity slackens off. And the view is worth the effort."

She nodded, but said to herself, He knows he's handsome. Good muscular body; firm backside. That's why they picked him to guide me, no doubt. He gets all the female hormones popping.
He gets all the female hormones popping, guys. I can't wait until the mandatory aloof, calculating, genius-scientist character shows up.
