Alan Weisman, New York Times bestselling author of The World Without Us and Countdown Critical Mass explains as thoroughly as it entertains, leaving you hoping we can live up to its promise.” “Daniel Suarez’s deft narrative skills, genuine concern for humanity’s fate, and prodigious research have produced a stem-winding thriller about a potentially feasible future. Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of Gravity In Critical Mass, Suarez has created a near-future with such meticulous detail that it feels as if he's actually lived it.” “A dazzling, high-tech tour de force, with details so vivid, you'll feel swept straight into orbit. That is, if planetside powers don't stop them first.
In the process they’ll need to establish the first spin-gravity station in deep space, the first orbiting solar power satellite and refinery, and historic infrastructure on the moon’s surface-all of which could alleviate a deepening ecological, political, and economic crisis back on Earth, and prove that space-based industry is not only profitable, but possibly humanity’s best hope for a livable, peaceful future. With terrestrial governments consumed by the ravages of climate change and unable to take the risks necessary to make rapid progress in space, the crew must build their own nextgen spacecraft offworld - a craft capable of mounting a rescue in time for the asteroid’s next swing by Earth. When unforeseen events during an innovative-and unsanctioned-commercial asteroid-mining mission leave two crew members stranded, those who make it back to Earth must engineer a rescue, all while navigating a shifting web of global political alliances and renewed Cold War tensions. From New York Times bestselling author Daniel Suarez comes an urgent new tech thriller that is both a daring space adventure and a potential path out of Earth's climate crisis - if only we can rise to the challenge.
