The Great Space Elevator
Deborah Watling (Victoria Waterfield), Helen Goldwyn (Tara Kerley)

The Great Space Elevator is a marvel of human engineering, a transit tube stretching from the equator up to a space station held in geosynchronous orbit.

Together with Security officer Tara Kerley, the three travellers take a one-way trip on the elevator to fix the problem, and find themselves confronted by a powerful alien force that threatens to wreak chaos on Earth…
