A Gift from Earth

Meer over het boek

Only the plateau is habitable. Only the powerful survive... A solitary mountain rises from the soaring, toxic blackness of the planet. Forty miles below, the atmosphere is sixty times as thick as Earth's, and hot enough to melt lead. The organ banks are the centre of this world. To them the subservient colonists contribute living limbs. And apart from them the overlords obtain the vital parts that keep them alive... Excellent and already only too believable - Daily Telegraph Larry Niven is the Hugo and Nebula award-winning author of Ringworld, co-author of The Mote in God's Eye and Lucifer's Hammer Cover illustration by Peter A.
