Publisher's Synopsis
This, the first part of an adventure to surpass all adventures, takes you to the near, possible, future, to the far edges of hope and mankinds dreams. Why are we here and what are we to this vast universe that embraces us so tightly. An attempt to realize this is the bulk of this work. We begin with the near future of space commerce. We will seek material value in space, of course. We have and certainly will find great wonderment as we explore this new wilderness left to us by chance or divinity? This is the question we, secretly, seek most. Out past Mars, in the asteroid belt that encircles our sun, a scab mining ship picks out an asteroid to dig for what valuables it may contain. This orbiting mountain of rock is, as it turns out, a very exceptional find. Our mining crew of seven set out for normal operations, but normal is not to be. They are being watched by a hostile group of strict union bonded spacers looking to pirate our barely virtuous heros. War between the factions involved, is but a minuscule mistake away, as always and the find made by the scab crew will change mankinds space capabilities forever. Join the adventure and experience the real hazards that humankind will endeavor to take possession of our new and open wilderness.
