Description

In the thirty years since lasers were invented, we have learned to use them for jobs as diverse as eye surgery and missile defense. But the biggest advance is yet to come: one day soon we will be able to beam human beings from place to place on Earth, and even into Space. Beamriders chronicles the achievements of the men and women who brave death in the development of just such a laser-transport system. Assignments that no one else can accomplish await the survivors: the rescue of a U.S. scientist from a cell beneath the Kremlin; defusing atomic blackmail in Washington; and, strangest of all, a mission to the Far Side of the Moon. On Earth and in Space, nothing can stop THE BEAMRIDERS!
