IRIS, Doubleday, 1990, first edition hardcover or trade paperback. 

 From a future Earth ravaged by economic collapse to a rogue 
planet and its three enigmatic moons, from the familiarity

alien world, William Barton and Michael Capobianco take both 
the reader and the crew of the Deepstar on a daring odyssey 
of extraterrestrial exploration and dazzling alien contact.

Also, Available:

ALPHA CENTAURI, Avon, 1997, first edition hardcover or trade paperback.

The year is 2239 and the overburdened Earth groans beneath the weight of 200 
billion people. By century's end, the human race will have ceased to exist.

The last salvation of humanity is traveling with the crew of the starship 
Mother Night, on a colonizing mission to Alpha Centauri.

But a terrorist plague has infiltrated the ship, planting the seeds of 
failure and extinction in every man and woman on board.

And a miraculous relic of an earlier doomed race awaits them of journey's 
end: a puzzling and impossibly ancient artifact that offers hope beyond all 
mortal comprehension. . .or stands as a grim harbinger of the impending death 
of everything human.

WHITE LIGHT, Avon, 1998, first edition trade paperback.

At Millennium's end, the Earth was poisoned beyond repair--and ships ventured 
out into the solar system in search of life-saving raw materials and new 
planets to colonize. Now it is 2083. No suitable worlds have been found and 
the Earth can sustain life no longer. In humanity's final moments, two 
renegade family units--a microcosm of a self-destructive society--rocket into 
the heart of a mysterious alien culture. Here an entity has been created for 
the purpose of preserving all life, but to do so, it must absorb the past, 
present, and the future of the universe.

In a distant realm of last, desperate hope, the flawed representatives of a 
near-dead world are searching for the key to humankind's survival. But it may 
already be too late...and it may always have been.
