5.0 out of 5 stars The Descent of Anansi, Aug 30 2000
By Eddie Guimont (Glastonbury, CT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Descent of Anansi (School & Library Binding)
In the not-so-distant future, Falling Angel Industries is headquartered on a Lunar-orbiting space station, constructed from used STS External Tanks. FA has just produced 1,400 kilometers of the strongest cable ever produced-single-crystal iron suspended in an epoxy matrix, .8 millimeters thick. Two companies- Brazil Techimotores-Electronics and Oyama Construction have bidded for the cable, and Oyama has won. Transporting the cable from Falling Angel to LEO via the Space Shuttle Anansi/Ion Drive Tug Gabriel, the six-day voyage gives BTE enough time to join forces with a group of Iranian terrorists. Stealing and launching a Soviet Prometheus ground-to-orbit missile, they destroy the Gabriel and cripple the Anansi and cable re-entry pod, also killing an Anansi crewmember. With the Anansi stranded in orbit, with no way to re-enter and no way to get back to Falling Angel, BTE launches two Space Shuttles. Their mission: retrieve the cable, and finish the job that the missile didn't complete . . . . Destroy the Anansi and her crew.

2.0 out of 5 stars Readable, Jun 7 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Descent of Anansi (Mass Market Paperback)
I had a bit of trouble following some of what was going on. The romance seemed a bit forced to make the story more interesting.

This review is from: The Descent of Anansi (Mass Market Paperback)
Wonderful book ! Pay no attention to other carping comments.The book that made me understand about tides. It has believable characters, great plot, tension--this should be made into a movie. I'm already casting the principal characters in my mind...

3.0 out of 5 stars decent read
This book is a fluffy but fun read about some Brazilians going to the moon. It has a large cast of characters with difficult names. Read more
