Book description
Bill Hastings was one in a million. He was the winner of a planet-wide
contest, and the prize was a chance to spend a year working at the 1992
World's Fair. For the young xenobiology student, it was the opportunity
of a lifetime. Fifty thousand miles above the Earth, a gigantic
satellite moved in its elegant orbit. It would be Bill's home for a
year, and host to hundreds of thousands of visitors. The 1992 World's
Fair was to be an orbital extravaganza, and Bill Hastings thought that
his dreams had come true. He had a lot to learn. Robert Silverberg
