Kiteworld
Keith Roberts
A panoramic novel of men
and machines, Kiteworld presents a future world in which sturdy, highly
trained crews launch daring pilots into the stratosphere, borne aloft
on giant Cody manlifter kites to watch the horizon and the skies for
demonic monsters strikingly suggestive of guided missiles and aircraft.
Intense, detailed, and meticulously observed, the world of the novel is a
future in which our world, after a catastrophe that has severed
humanity from its past, is such a vague memory that details survive only
as myth.
