"The insurrection, Enrich says, was the 'predictable culmination of a president whom Jones Day had helped elect, an administration the firm’s lawyers had helped run, and an election whose integrity the firm had helped erode'."

"And holy to his dread is that dark

"Readers of any age will find these characters difficult to believe in, let alone identify with, and several will recognize that Gordon ( Falling Towards Forever ) has taken his main plot from a combination of Clarke's 2010 and a story in Simak's City series." "Simak's version of Jupiter is a cold, windswept, and corrosive hell where only advanced technology allows the station to exist at all. A scientist is accompanied by Towser, his tired and flea-bitten old dog. But there is a problem: Men permanently transformed to survive unaided on Jupiter's surface leave the station to gather data and inexplicably fail to return. Finally, the scientist transforms himself and his canine companion into the seal-like beings that can survive the surface. They leave the station in their new form and experience Jupiter as a paradise." --Wikipedia
