Science Fiction Book about a Green Glass Highway(I Didn't Read the book thats ehy it is in suggest books.)

[PaulGamerBoy360]

Published or Read: 1960s or 70s.



There was a highway that was made of a heavy, green glass that was uncovered in the sand in Australia after the technology to create it has been long lost. People use it to get from place to place extremely fast, e.g. going from Perth to Sydney would only take an hour. The author described Australia in great detail.

More on the highway was that they could repair it but couldn't build more of it due to the loss of technology. The main character (some sort of detective?) spent a lot of time on this green glass road going places. They also had taken - chipped off - hard chunks and studied them but couldn't reverse-engineer the highway or something like that. The highway worked off of something like magnetism, like having the glass somehow be magnetic.

Possibly a murder mystery or detective story that involved a lot of science fiction elements.

When did you read the book? Was it a hardback or softback? Do you remember what the cover looked like?

So, you're saying that you don't remember when you read the book? Did you read the actual book, or someone else read the book?
