<\/a>I received a note a few days ago from David J. Williams, the author of a new book; “The Mirrored Heavens<\/em><\/a>“.\u00a0 In his email to me,\u00a0David writes:<\/p>\n

“I’m the author of the just-released THE MIRRORED HEAVENS, which was published on May 20th by Random House’s Bantam Spectra.\u00a0 The book centers on events following the destruction of the Phoenix Elevator, a LEO (rather than GEO) space elevator.\u00a0 While I’m a writer of fiction, and certainly hope that such scenarios never come to pass, I do hope that my book might contribute in some small way to the growing publicity around space elevators, which I firmly believe to be an idea whose time has come…<\/em><\/p>\n

You might also check out my website<\/a>, where I’ve got a fair amount of imagery\/data relating to the Elevator, and the world of 2110.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The website is\u00a0splendid and well worth a visit – the trailer he’s posted\u00a0is first-rate and ranks very high on my cool-o-meter…\u00a0 And as a blogger, I especially enjoy David’s blog – it’s really well done.<\/p>\n

Once I’ve read this book, I’ll post a review here on the blog.<\/p>\n
