Opis

In the first few years of the 21st century, due to a chance series of events, Coast Guard officer David Kolko stumbles upon a revolutionary scientific breakthrough which enables him to develop a new space engine-a mechanical revelation which thereby aids man in travelling the span of the solar system in a matter of mere hours. Kolko then comes to the immediate realization that such a discovery will now make it possible for man to harvest the enormous wealth that the solar system offers, but also understands that such an opportunity will create a highly destabilizing effect on the social and economic structures present on Earth. Despite his awareness of the potential inherent risks at hand in an indirect challenge to the -powers that be, - he decides that he ultimately should be the protagonist of this new and awesome space race and quickly puts himself to work, gathering the necessary resources-as well as the necessary allies, to start his amazing feat. Soon, however, our protagonist finds himself adrift in a path filled with a myriad of obstacles as he tries to reach his ambitious goal, and as word spreads of his discovery, Kolko must prepare himself for a showdown with enemies who are far more determined and ruthless in their opposition to his endeavor than he could have ever imagined. The adventures of our hero unravel in a crescendo of unexpected twists and turns, keeping the reader's steadfast attention until the last page. -Kolko's World- is an intricate work-a well-structured novel that combines action and strategy, -space opera- and social critique.
