A man obsessed
The third and final chapter in Bova’s stunning and epic Asteroid Wars trilogy sees space industry megalomaniac Martin Humphries as wealthy, ruthless and obsessed as ever in his attempts to control mankind’s development in space.
Exiling his last great rival Lars Fuchs into deep space, Humphries has finally claimed the woman who has long been the object of his desire, Fuchs’ wife Amanda. He now controls the exploration – and exploitation – of space almost unchallenged. Yet he is still not satisfied. He wants a son by Amanda; he wants Lars Fuchs dead; and he wants to control the development of the Moon. If the free space prospectors of the asteroid Ceres resist, he will destroy them. Nothing short of total domination will suffice.
However, another power is building up its strength in secret, watching and waiting for a chance to seize the vast empire that Humphries has built . . .
