Artemis meets Gravity in this gripping, adrenaline-fueled ride.
For war hero Caitlin Taggart, mining work on the Moon is dirty, low pay, and high risk. But no risk seems too extreme if it helps her return to Earth and the daughter she loves more than life itself. Offered a dangerous, long-shot chance to realize that dream, Caitlin will gamble with more than just her life.
By leading a ragtag crew of miners on a perilous assignment to harvest an asteroid, Caitlin could earn a small fortune. More importantly, it would give her clearance to return to Earth.
But when an unexpected disaster strikes the mission, Caitlin is plunged into a race to save not only herself, but every human being on Earth.

Jeremy K. Brown published his first book, Calling Off Christmas, in 2011. His first science-fiction novel, Ocean of Storms, was written with coauthor Christopher Mari and published in 2016. Jeremy has also authored several biographies for young readers, including books on Stevie Wonder and Ursula K. Le Guin. Jeremy has contributed articles to numerous magazines and newspapers, as well as special issues for TV Guide, Newsweek, and the Discovery Channel. He lives in New York with his wife and sons and is working on his next novel.
“Up-and-comer Brown’s hard SF novel is a nail-biter about a onetime war hero turned underdog forced into trying to save Earth from a planetary cataclysm...Caitlin is a starkly drawn and sympathetic protagonist who doesn’t want to be a hero but rises to every nerve-racking, potentially lethal challenge with a stubbornness that will make readers cheer through gritted teeth...Funny, grim, and technical but not oppressively so, this story of sacrifice born of love, duty, and redemption should appeal to any SF fan.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
