Science Fiction
The bestselling author of Daemon returns with a
near-future technological thriller, in which a charismatic
billionaire recruits a team of adventurers to launch the
first deep space mining operation--a mission that could
alter the trajectory of human civilization. When itinerant cave diver James Tighe receives an invitation
to billionaire Nathan Joyce's private island, he thinks it
must be a mistake. But Tighe's unique skill set makes him a
prime candidate for Joyce's high-risk venture to mine a
near-earth asteroid--with the goal of kick-starting an
entire off-world economy. The potential rewards and personal
risks are staggering, but the competition is fierce and the
stakes couldn't be higher. Isolated and pushed beyond their breaking points, Tighe and
his fellow twenty-first century adventurers--ex-soldiers,
former astronauts, BASE jumpers, and mountain climbers--must
rely on each other to survive not only the dangers of a
multi-year expedition but the harsh realities of business in
space. They're determined to transform humanity from an
Earth-bound species to a space-faring one--or die trying.
