Mar 20

Years ago I read a science fiction story that took place in the late 21st century where a family who owned a landfill made their living selling scavenged stuff from it. The same story had hurricanes in the Pacific that never died. They'd travel around the ocean & gain strength then hit land on occasion, Japan, Hawaii, North America, & then go back out to sea & get big again. I read this back in the 80s & now I wonder when I will read that headline. I don't remember the book title but David Brin was the author.
