THE SOLAR EXPRESS BY William H. Bailey 2017 A STORY IN TWO PARTS THE SOLAR EXPRESS describes the results of the opening of the high frontier of orbital space. In previous stories FREEFALL, EARTHPARK, and DOWN TO EARTH, Designer Disease Plagues have reduced world population by eighty percent, and the United States military desperately fights off the People's Liberation Army invading from the south. In order to win against overwhelming odds in spite of political resistance at every turn, they use unconventional and highly controversial methods to establish themselves in orbital space. The many advantages of the gravity well allow them to force the PLA to flee south, and restore the integrity of the U.S. border. The second book, THE SOLAR EXPRESS, relates how the political and economic prejudices of the past resist their efforts to reestablish world commerce and prosperity. It seems that only the use of judicious force will prevent all their efforts being negated by the selfish remnants of the previous era's elite religious, political, and economic powers. The pioneers of orbital seek to establish a Commonwealth of willing nations for commercial trade and economic prosperity. Will they succeed in establishing a new and glorious future for mankind against the failures of the past? Time and space will tell.
