Neptune Crossing
Pilot John Bandicut has been cut off from his internal link to the “datanet” by faulty technology, leaving him subject to maddening “silence-fugues.” His need for contact makes him a perfect candidate for a symbiotic relationship with the alien quarx, who are trying to save humanity from a mysterious disaster threatening Earth. The quarx, creations whose understanding of Terran culture comes mostly from monitoring old TV and radio programs, have a certain gee-whiz quality, although their interactions with the datanet are intriguing.
Readers will learn the basics of the eigth planet from the sun, including Neptune's most interesting features, its position in the solar system, its composition and atmospheric conditions, its moons, and how scientists have learned about it over time. Color photos and diagrams enhance understanding of the text.
