Description for ORBITAL DECAY by Allen Steele: HELP WANTED. LONG HOURS, DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. MUST BE WILLING TO RELOCATE... They are the men and women who are building the future. The beamjacks. The zero-gee construction workers hired to assemble gigantic satellites in the vacuum of space. On the job, a moment's carelessness can lead to catastrophe. But the hardest part comes when the working day is over: boredom, homesickness, and the painful memories of the Earth they've left behind. Management and the military think they have the beamjacks under control. They're wrong. This is #1 in Near Space Series. Show more
