Publisher's Synopsis
In the Fourth Century of the Age of Space -that is, about three hundred years in the future - twenty-five space colonies were built to circle the globe in an orbit about fifty miles further from Earth than the International Space Station.Each of these colonies has a population of about one million people and is a new state of one of Earth's nations. Life in these low gravity "orbitats" (orbital habitats) is both delightful and challenging TALES FROM EARTH ORBIT is a collection of fourteen short stories by and about those early colonists.
