Synopsis
Glory Season is a 1993 science fiction novel by David Brin. It was nominated for both the Hugo and Locus Awards in 1994. An announcement in the back of one edition of Earth is for a novel titled "Stratos", to be released in Spring of 1992. It seems likely that this was delayed, and renamed "Glory Season".
