nThe 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. n When itinerant cave diver James Tighe receives an invitation to billionaire Nathan Joyces private island, he thinks it must be a mistake. But Tighes unique skill set makes him a prime candidate for Joyces 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 couldnt be higher. n n 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. Theyre determined to transform humanity from an Earth-bound species to a space-faring one--or die trying.n
