The century next door

WHO ARE YOU? Are you the person you made yourself, or a tool-shaped by someone else? In John Barne's future history, that's not a question of philosophy, it's life and death. Three novels in one book: Orbital Resonance. In 2025, teenagers Melpomene Murray lives on a giant asteroid transfer ship, part of a generation of incredibly smart young people with no memories of war-ravaged Earth. They're supposed to save the human race, but they're starting to make their own plans . . . . Kaleidoscope Century. Joshua Ali Quare wakes up on Mars in 2109 at the age of 141, in a strong, young body with no memory of his past. The only clues to his identity, and to the deadly secrets locked in his head, are the records he has left himself-messages from the man he once was . . . . Candle. On the Earth of 2076, everyone has a copy of the software Resuna running in their brains, to keep them happy, satisfied, and, most importantly, pat of the One True network, the over-mind that rules the world. Currie Curran used to be a cowboy hunter, chasing rogue humans, but he retired long ago. Until One True sends him out to capture the last free man . . . . --Amazon
