Beyond The Horizon

Utopia has been achieved. For centuries, disease, hunger, poverty and war have been things found only in the histories. And applied genetics has given men and women the bodies of athletes and a lifespan of over a century. They should all have been very happy.... But Hamilton Felix is bored. And he is the culmination of a star line; each of his last thirty ancestors chosen for superior genes. Hamilton is, as far as genetics can produce one, the ultimate man. And this ultimate man can see no reason why the human race should survive, and has no intention of continuing the pointless comedy. However, Hamilton's life is about to become less boring. A secret cabal of revolutionaries who find utopia not just boring, but desperately in need of leaders who know just What Needs to be Done, are planning to revolt and put themselves in charge. Knowing of Hamilton's disenchantment with the modern world, they have recruited him to join their Glorious Revolution. Big mistake! The revolutionaries are about to find out that recruiting a superman is definitely not a good idea.... With an all new afterword by Tony Daniel.

In June 2004, Colin Angus and his wife Julie left from Vancouver, Canada on a two year odyssey that included rowing across two oceans, hiking over three continents, and exploring 17 countries. They managed the first rowboat crossing of the Bering Sea, traveled through the coldest lands in Siberia, and trekked alongside nomadic reindeer herders. The goal? To be the first people to circumnavigate the globe entirely under their own power-- and to promote no-or-low emission transportation as a means to combat climate change. Dubbed Adventurers of the Year 2006 by National Geographic Adventure Magazine, and telling a tale of what Outside Magazine calls one of the last great expeditions, Colin Angus delivers a powerful message that will capture the attention of environmentally committed readers everywhere.

"Beyond the Horizon will inspire as well as entertain you. As society finally realizes that decades of fast-and-easy transportation extract a heavy toll on our planet, Angus's quest is a triumph of spirit and a testament to simple human fortitude and perseverance in the face of obstacles that most of us can barely imagine."--BOOK JACKET.
