The Venus Belt

While it may not be quite as good as the original book, the author is able, with the main characters already firmly established, to have a lot more fun with the story line right off the bat. To keep it short, if you liked the Probability Broach, you will like this book. If you didn`t, you probably will not care for it. An excellent alternate history story.

Not in the North American Confederacy. Not until people start disappearing left and right. And Detective Win Bear's close friends start to vanish also. At first he figures that some Hamiltonians might still be running about, but as the clues (or clews) start to pile up everything starts to point to the other side of the Probability Broach. But right when you'ld think things might start to clear up the Bear Curse kicks in and makes everything even worse- there seems to be TWO plots going on at the same time. If Win Bear doesn't figure out what's happening, and fast, both universes might end up under the Iron Heel of a Totalitarian State!
