To the harsh landscape of Sol's fourth planet travel thirteen
astronauts, the best scientists from eleven nations, on a
history-making voyage into the unknown. The international crew of
the Mars mission have spent nine months in space, crossing 100
million kilometres, to reach the last great frontier. Their voyage
is fraught with disputes, both personal and political, and their
time on Mars limited to 'footprints and flags'; yet while there
they will come face-to-face with the most incredible and shocking
discovery of all.
Impressed into service aboard the seal-hunting "Ghost," Humphrey
Van Weyden becomes an unwilling participant in a tense shipboard
drama. With a wary eye, he watches the vessel's abusive captain,

water, then return to reading the moral philosophers. One of the
best sea novels ever written, "The Sea-Wolf" tells of mutiny,
shipwreck, and a desperate confrontation....
Also in this volume, "The Law of Life," "The One Thousand Dozen,"
"All Gold Canyon," and "Moon-Face" offer more riveting action and
adventure. In these tales, London's descriptions of the natives,
the northern dogs, and even the tundra capture the essence of the
exuberant life he experienced firsthand.
After conquering everything else, the last frontier was...
controlling Mother Nature THE WEATHERMAKERS is a novel about
climate change... literally. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dr. Ben Bova is a
six-time Hugo Award winner, and author of over 125 futuristic
novels and nonfiction books about science and technology.
