AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In this third novella, the Questers travel into the future at the entreaty of Gorki (Phoebe's future great-great grandchild) who arrives from the year 2150. Their quest is to save the Earth from the dismal future that awaits humanity if The Company, which controls everyone's life, cannot be stopped. The theme is strongly that of conservation and 'stepping lightly on the earth' today if such a future is to be avoided. Serious though the subject matter may be, it is presented with the Questers' trademark ingenuity and sense of fun as they confront the very unfriendly world of 2150.' (Publisher's blurb)
