The Asteroid Wars (3-in-1)

by Ben Bova

The rapid increase of global warming has unleashed a plague of environmental disasters across the Earth: rising seas flooding coastlines; climate shifts turning croplands into deserts; mega-storms and earthquakes leaving millions homeless, sick and starving…or dead. Once one of the richest men in the world, Dan Humphries knows the raw materials of space are crucial to Earth’s survival, but his company, Astro Manufacturing, is close to bankruptcy. His business rival, fabulously wealthy Martin Humphries, isn’t burdened with Randolph’s social conscience; he doesn’t care if Earth perishes so long as he makes a profit. Pitching a can’t-miss business proposition, he knows Randolph will risk everything to save the planet—putting Humphries one step closer to his true goal: controlling Astro…. When top-notch pilot Pancho Lane came to work at Astro Manufacturing, her only thought was to keep her dead sister cryonically preserved until she could be revived. So when Martin Humphries offers her money to spy on her boss, it’s a no-brainer—until Dan Randolph taps her to fly the first fusion ship to the Asteroid Belt…. And while Starpower 1 steams on the launch pad, Martin Humphries ignites a vicious power struggle that will be felt from the bedroom to the boardroom, from the ravaged face of the Earth to the rocky depths of the asteroids, with the survival of humanity hanging in the balance. Includes The Precipice, The Rock Rats and The Silent War. Warning: Explicit sex and language. Jacket art by Stephan Martiniere. (982 pp. total). 2001-2004.
