The Sixth Category

A Future Chron Novel. Risk Table: Category 1 - Personal and endurable (stolen car) Category 2 - Personal and permanent (death) Category 3 - Local and endurable (building fire) Category 4 - Local and permanent (genocide) Category 5 - Global and endurable (ozone layer) Category 6 - Global and permanent (???) The globes came in different sizes from small recorder globes of a couple of centimeters diameter up to ship sized globes many meters across. The appearance of the globes at first was a nuisance (Category 1) but after causing some deaths (Category 2) they became a threat. The famous physicist Elias Mach and his great-great granddaughter, Emmy Gibbs, began investigating. The investigation led to Mach's death and his granddaughter's desperate attempts to prevent worse, Category 6. And the worse came. If you like your science with a sense of wonder, characters that never give up and a fast-moving story, then this is for you. Hard science fiction - old school.
