kengrListening to Moody Blues albums in order.Their first two (1965 Go Now, 1966 The Magnificent Moodies) had me going "*That* is the Moody Blues???"
But Days of Future Past (1967) is definitely them.
I'm currently reading Going Ballistic by Dorothy Grant on my Kindle. It's good.
You get dropped right into the world, which you eventually realize is a colony planet of some sort. But details are slipped in as you go along.
The main character is a pilot for an airline. she flies sub-orbital airliners. And winds up in the middle of a real mess. Politics between various multi-national governments led one (hers) to try to create a "terrorist incident" to justify invading a country that decided it wanted to be independent.
Her flight was supposed to be lost with all aboard and have it blamed on the rebels.
Only she managed to bring the plane in to safe landing in spi=te of major damage.
Her government is not pleased. and they want to eliminate her and her inconvenient testimony about what *actually* happened to her flight (which is very much at odds with the "official" story.
She's getting help from some of the folks who were coming to aid the "rebels". And her life is getting *way* to interesting.
