And throughout  Bova has shown our cosmic neighborhood as we know it to be  giving us a sense of Venus and Jupiter and the Asteroid Belt and Mars thats as up-to-date as the latest observations. For the last two decades have been a golden age of near-Earth astronomy and observation  and in his novels Bova has made dramatic use of our newest knowledge.  But during that time Bova has also written short fiction about some of the same events and characters---Sam Gunn  Martin Humphries  Klaus Fuchs  Dan Randolph  the Asteroid Wars.
