The bestselling author of Daemon returns with a near-future technological thriller, when a charismatic billionaire recruits a team of adventurers to release 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 personal island, he feels it should be a blunder. But Tighe’s exclusive expertise makes him a prime candidate for Joyce’s high-risk endeavor to mine a near-earth asteroid–with the goal of kick-starting an entire off-world economy. The benefits and personal risks are staggering, but the competition is certainly fierce as well as the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Isolated and pushed beyond their breaking points, Tighe and his fellow twenty-first century adventurers–ex-soldiers, previous astronauts, Foundation jumpers, and mountain climbers–must depend on one another to survive not only the dangers of the multi-year expedition but the severe realities of business in space. They’re driven to transform humanity from an Earth-bound types to a space-faring one–or die trying.
