(Found) 70s/80s novel with planetary "fall" layers prevent contact

[bobbinalong]

I'm looking for the author and title of a book I read too long ago to remember.

Basic premise along the lines of... If you were planetside at a cetain time, there was a "fall" that placed a layer on everything. As the layers built up, it became harder and harder to connect/communicate with people.

Any ideas? Thanks

Was it a Greg Bear book? Greg Bear is ringin' a bell with me on this one.

It could be Greg Bear, but nothing on Amazon clicked. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Veils of Azlaroc by Fred Saberhagen?

That's the one! I remember being struck by the concept back then, now I'll get another copy and see if it's as wonderful as I remember.

Thanks,
