Description
“Science fiction as it should be written.” Isaac Asimov
The Countdown has begun…
The world’s superpowers have colonized the moon, the Earth becoming more and more decrepit.
On this new territory, the bases of two former enemies join forces: The USA’s Moonbase, or known by its inhabitants as ‘Selene’, and Russia’s Lunagrad.
The Countdown to nuclear war and annihilation has begun…
Together, they must launch the most daring offensive ever against Earth in an attempt to save mankind…
From itself.
Millennium is an outstanding novel of science-fiction, exploring a tense and a very plausible political landscape.
Praise for Ben Bova:
“This is a highly successful fusion of SF and political thriller.” — Publishers Weekly
“One of the rare science-fiction books that deserves a wide audience.” — Chicago Sun-Times
“Slick, snappy narrative, worthy convictions, all-too-plausible forecasts.” — Kirkus Reviews
“Millennium is the crowning achievement of Ben Bova’s career to date … one of the most sheerly believable stories in science fiction.” — Galaxy Magazine.
“Bova’s novel hinges on the hope that somewhere, somehow, there will be enough people with enough vision to see beyond national boundaries and to act in the cause of humanity.” — St. Louis Post-Dispatch
“… one of the most pleasant tales of terror I have ever read.” — Luna
