I'm writing a full length series of scifi books, based around the space elevator concept. You can see my non-fiction books on the subject in Kindle at amazon.com/author/lindajanicephillips In this extract, Ellemental, the fictional space elevator company, has developed the carbon nanotube based ribbon, has rigged it up next to the Space Needle in Seattle and is taking some surprised customers for a ride! Genre: Hard Science Fiction
