Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A very polite and very incorruptible missile was aimed at the asteroid habitat Rosinante and determined to let nothing stop it on its assigned mission - the complete destruction of Rosinante and all its inhabitants! Campbell Award winner trilogy continues. A deteriorating political situation on Earth makes the asteroid habitat of Rosinante an attractive haven for an odd assortment of refugees. There is the dissident faction of the North American navy, fleeing court-martial, which becomes Rosinante's defensive force There's Skashkash, the twenty-first century AI, who designs a new religion for space, with no awareness of the probable explosive consequences. And, in the midst of it all, there's Charles Cantrell, the habitat's project manager, and his very able assistant, Marian Yashon, who find themselves forced into playing reluctant revolutionaries and declaring Rosinante's independence from Earth. Then, just when it seems the habitat has won its freedom, someone launches an unstoppable missile at it from near-Earth orbit! To save their home and people, Cantrell and Yashon will have to discover whose hit list they are on. And why! It's a long shot. But, their only choice is to succeed - or experience the destruction of everyone and everything they have fought for. "The story elements come early, fast, and furious. Gilliland's quirky mix of eccentric characters, cynical power politics, and old-style hard sf engineering-in-space works. Gilliland's novels are about people who, mostly through accident of circumstance, find themselves holding a tiger by the tail, with a choice of hanging on or being eaten. Fun to read." - Dani Sweig, Belated Reviews. Cover art: Laura Givens. Book design: Frankie Hill.

Book excerpt: From a New York Times bestselling and Hugo award-winning author comes a modern masterwork of science fiction, introducing a captain, his crew, and a detective as they unravel a horrifying solar system wide conspiracy that begins with a single missing girl. Now a Prime Original series. Humanity has colonized the solar system—Mars, the Moon, the Asteroid Belt and beyond—but the stars are still out of our reach. Jim Holden is XO of an ice miner making runs from the rings of Saturn to the mining stations of the Belt. When he and his crew stumble upon a derelict ship, the Scopuli, they find themselves in possession of a secret they never wanted. A secret that someone is willing to kill for—and kill on a scale unfathomable to Jim and his crew. War is brewing in the system unless he can find out who left the ship and why. Detective Miller is looking for a girl. One girl in a system of billions, but her parents have money and money talks. When the trail leads him to the Scopuli and rebel sympathizer Holden, he realizes that this girl may be the key to everything. Holden and Miller must thread the needle between the Earth government, the Outer Planet revolutionaries, and secretive corporations—and the odds are against them. But out in the Belt, the rules are different, and one small ship can change the fate of the universe. "Interplanetary adventure the way it ought to be written." —George R. R.
