About the Book: The Terranauts
Linda is desperate to be one of the lucky eight chosen to take part in the
worlds most ambitious ecological experiment. Gazing longingly at Ecosphere II,
which rises like a spaceship from the Arizona desert, Linda knows she can
survive under its glass dome. Competition is fierce between the hopefuls, among
them smooth-talking PR man Ramsay, and Dawn, a naïve beauty. All are certain
that they would never, ever, break closure before two years are up unlike their
discredited predecessors.
Inside this humid microcosm, the terranauts labours over crops and livestock,
their battles with creepy crawlies, their hostilities and sexual dalliances
