    About this ebook

    In a distant future where the majority of humanity lives in space, an investigator is sent to examine a most unusual space habitat.

    Most early space habitats will be as Earthlike as their makers can possibly manage. But later generations of orbital habitats might depart from environments like the one we now know in surprising ways.

      Sorry. Please bite me, sir.

      Evidently Jeff had heard of Nightworld's reputation as a sexually uninhibited colony; the place where the nights never end, and the parties never stop. He had learned this was my latest assignment, and, of course, could not forego giving me a bit of grief about it.
