Blurb: “Driven from an ecologically torn earth, hi-tech industries have annexed the moon. Here they conduct their ambitious experiments in corporate privacy, with no food chain to respect and no atmosphere to ruin. Yet they now exact a new price. No longer forced to rely upon the land for sustenance, dependent still upon the world they have already destroyed, they are carelessly laying waste to the chill and ancient beauties of the lunar surface.
Some progress is being made, however. There has been an astonishing breakthrough in medical technology, an advance in neurochemistry that may alter the balance forever and make questions of moral responsibility extinct. The power now exists to make anyone think and feel as a sponsor might wish. It could be the start of a brave new era.
Unless, of course, the sponsor wishes otherwise.
When the inevitable war on earth threatens to shut down the pipeline to the moon, priorities must change. The colonists in control are forced to take responsibility for the very questions they have been striving to make moot. Can anyone survive long enough to face the dilemma they have wrought?
Fascinating and ingenious, Griffin's Egg is a compelling tale of hard SF from a writer of extraordinary vision.”
