Book description
The most expensive, the most luxurious resort in the history of man.
Where no request, no whim or pleasure, was denied. Where anything was
possible for a price. SATELLITE CITY The haven and the playground of
only the very rich and the most powerful. It was the most amazing
pleasure complex ever built - and it looked down on the Earth from an
orbit 22,000 miles high. Yet, for all its glitter, there was something
ominous about Satellite City - no nation or international body had any
jurisdiction there, it was a law unto itself; no one knew who owned it;
or what went on within its secret council rooms. Until one man
penetrated the wall of secrecy and discovered satellite city's hidden
masters. Mack Reynolds (1917-1983) Dallas McCord ('Mack') Reynolds was
born in California in 1917. His father was the Socialist Labor Party
Presidential Candidate on two occasions, and Reynolds' life and work
were deeply affected by his political upbringing. After early careers in
newspapers and computing, Reynolds returned from the Second World War
and began to write science fiction. Based in Mexico but travelling
widely in his role as Travel Editor for a men's magazine, he started
slowly but surely to sell his work. Mack Reynolds wrote the first Star
Trek novel, Mission to Horatius, and was once voted Most popular SF
Author by the readers of Galaxy Science Fiction magazine. He died in
1983.
