Description: Ranging from Earth to the asteroids and beyond, the acclaimed novels first published as Heavy Time and Hellburner are knife-edged thrillers of deadly intrigue in an era of dangerous transition. Emerging new forces, including the Union and the Fleet, are challenging the strangleholds of global governments and world-spanning corporate cartels.
But it will be ordinary people-the innocent and the unlucky-who are trapped in the turmoil when interstellar powers collide.
