THE SILENT WAR by BEN BOVA
|
SummaryWhen corporations go to war, standard business practice
goes out the window. Astro Corporation is led by
indomitable Texan Pancho Lane, Humphries Space Systems by
the rich and ruthless Martin Humphries, and their fight is
over nothing less than resources of the Asteroid Belt
itself. As fighting escalates, the lines between commerce
and politics, boardroom and bedroom, blur--and the keys to
victory will include physics, nanotechnology, and cold hard
cash. As they fight it out, the lives of thousands of innocents
hang in the balance, including the rock rats who make their
living off the asteroids, and the inhabitants of Selene
City on Earth's moon. As if matters weren't complicated
enough, the shadowy Yamagata corporation sets its sights on
taking advantage of other people's quarrels, and space
pirate Lars Fuchs decides it's time to make good on his own
personal vendetta. It's a breakneck finale that can end only in earth's
salvation--or the annihilation of all that humankind has
ever accomplished in space.
