Amazon.com description: Product Description:
The first novel of the Asteroid Wars about earthâs near future from the âleading light of hard Science Fiction and space advocacyâ*
Once, Dan Randolph was one of the richest men on Earth. Now the planet is spiralling into environmental disaster, with floods and earthquakes destroying the lives of millions. Martin Humphries, fabulously wealthy heir of the Humphries Trust, also knows that space-based industry is the way of the future. But unlike Randolph he does not care if Earth perishes in the process. As Randolphâaccompanied by two brilliant women astronautsâflies out to the Asteroid Belt aboard a fusion-propelled spacecraft, Humphries makes his move. The future of mankind lies in Randolphâs hands.
