Dannelon


by James J. Miner


In orbit around a moon of Neptune circles Dannelon, capital of the Outer Planets Organization.  Part city and part nation, Dannelon is a huge web of structures and habitats in space.  Tensions between Earth and Dannelon have existed for years, fueled by past transgressions and greed.  The situation has reached the breaking point.  War is imminent.  Within this sweeping background, Dara Zaro and Danson Mossburg are caught in a web of intrigue.  They travel  the length of Dannelon, pursued by government forces, brutal roving gangs, and cyborg soldiers.  War then arrives at Dannelon, and the entire population is caught in a torrent of destruction.  "Dannelon" is a story of war and its tragic consequences.  It is a projection of one possible future of the human race.  And it is the personal story of two individuals caught in a monumental tide of human events.
