Did you actually really the book?

Anyway, I noticed another book with a glider on it the other day. Book 3 of the 
Long Earth series by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter, entitled 'The Long 
Mars'. I am currently reading book 2 and find them to be very enjoyable.

Cheers

Just looked up the book. Yuk!  Amazing what passes for sf nowdays. Messrs 
Heinlein, Clarke, Anderson, Zelazny etc must be rolling in their graves.

More  cli-fi. (climate fiction, although I first used the term to describe 
supposedly scientific papers about climate change, not fiction novels about it 
although there usually isn't much difference). God help us.

BTW it is a DG200 that has been photoshopped to add a propeller.
